Russia has implemented a national registry to track crypto mining equipment with the goal of combating illegal operations and unauthorized electricity usage.
The registry initiative involves the Ministry of Energy, Federal Tax Service, and Ministry of Digital Development to monitor and regulate cryptocurrency mining activities in the country.
The registry aims to legalize the crypto mining industry, reduce unregulated electricity consumption, and combat illegal mining practices by enabling accurate monitoring and taxation.
The registry will also aid in tax collection, energy grid stabilization, and crackdown on illegal mining farms, contributing to a more regulated and controlled crypto mining environment in Russia.
