Ущерб от нелегального майнинга в Малайзии превысил $1 млрд

RBK-cryptoPublicado em 2025-11-19Última atualização em 2025-11-19

С 2020 года более 13 тыс. ферм для добычи криптовалют потребляли в стране электроэнергию незаконно

Нелегальные майнеры в Малайзии украли электричества более чем на $1 млрд за неполные 5 лет. Министерство энергетики Малайзии сообщило, что с 2020 года по август текущего года было зафиксировано 13 827 случаев незаконного использования электроэнергии для добычи криптовалют, передает South China Morning Post.

В министерстве сообщили, что из-за кражи электричества майнерами национальная энергетическая компания Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) понесла убытки в размере 4,6 млрд ринггитов ($1,1 млрд или около 89 млрд руб.). TNB работает с властями над проблемой, сообщили в ведомстве.

Оборудование для майнинга изымается с незаконно подключенных к сетям ферм. В совместных операциях участвуют энергетики, полиция, сотрудники других правоохранительных органов и регуляторов.

В Малайзии нет законов о добыче криптовалют, и майнинг не регулируется, но вмешательство в работу счетчиков или использование подключений для их обхода являются преступлениями, отмечает издание. Борьба с кражей электроэнергии называлась одним из приоритетов властей Малайзии еще в 2024 году, когда сумма ущерба от незаконного майнинга уже превышала $700 млн.

Особо остро проблема встала после того, как запрет добычи криптовалют в Китае в 2021 году вынудил майнеров перенести свою деятельность в страны Юго-Восточной Азии. Сообщалось, что летом 2021 года власти Малайзии раздавили катком изъятое у незаконных ферм оборудование для добычи криптовалюты стоимостью $1,25 млн. Под каток тогда попали 1069 устройств.

Тем временем в России готовят законопроекты об ответственности за нарушение требований к майнингу, включая отдельную статью за хищение электроэнергии с целью добычи криптовалюты. В Госдуме отметили, что майнинг мигрирует в серую зону и необходимы решительные действия для борьбы с этим.

Только в 2024 году «Россети» зафиксировали 130 случаев незаконного подключения майнеров к электросетям. По итогам проверок за прошлый год было возбуждено более 40 уголовных дел, ущерб превысил 1,3 млрд руб.

In August, Kalshi Traders Expect Bitcoin to Reach the $67,500 Mark

In August 2026, traders on the prediction market Kalshi assign a 54% probability to Bitcoin reaching or surpassing $67,500 by the end of the month, despite August historically being a weak month for crypto. Bitcoin is currently trading around $65,000, which is below the short-term holder cost basis of $67,523. This proximity could create selling pressure if the price approaches that level. The probability of reaching $70,000 is 31%, and for $72,500 it's only 13%, indicating expectations for a modest recovery rather than a major rally. Analyst Joao Wedson warns the market may not have bottomed yet. On a positive note, Bitcoin ETFs recorded strong weekly inflows of approximately $754 million, and Bitcoin is holding above several key support levels, suggesting market stability.

Saylor Ditches 'Doing Business' Slogan, Spawning Riddle Around Bitcoin Strategy

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy Inc., sparked speculation about the company's next Bitcoin move after a cryptic "Doing Business" post on August 9, which accompanied his usual Bitcoin tracking chart. Such posts had historically preceded announcements of large Bitcoin purchases, but this pattern broke this summer when a similar post was followed by a reported sale. The screenshot in Saylor's post showed reserves of $54.66 billion, with an average Bitcoin cost of $75,653 per coin and an unrealized loss of over $9 billion. Current company data shows a Bitcoin position worth roughly $54.9 billion at a price of ~$65,180, remaining below cost. Strategy's public ledger now shows four Bitcoin sale transactions between June 1 and August 3, 2026, with most sold below the company's average purchase price. Proceeds are used for preferred stock dividends, share buybacks, and bolstering the US dollar reserve. The company reported a Q2 net loss of $8.22 billion. With shares down 75% over the last 12 months and significant debt obligations, Saylor has pointed to Bitcoin-backed loans as a future multi-billion dollar opportunity. The market now awaits Strategy's next report to see if "Doing Business" signals another Bitcoin sale, a return to buying, or a different capital management strategy.

Bitcoin Price Remains Virtually Unchanged Amid Mass Coldcard Withdrawals and BIP-110 Failure

Bitcoin's price remained unusually stable, trading in a narrow range between roughly $64,500 and $65,250 over the weekend of August 9, 2026, despite two significant events. First, a security flaw in Coldcard hardware wallets led to substantial thefts, with high-confidence estimates ranging from 1,596 to 1,719 BTC (approx. $133M). The market appeared to view this as a product-specific security failure rather than a systemic Bitcoin issue, as the stolen coins were a tiny fraction of circulating supply and network operations continued normally. Second, the attempted activation of BIP-110, which required 55% miner signaling, failed dramatically, achieving only about 2.53% support. A minority chain formed but quickly stalled, controlling only a tiny fraction of the network's hash rate while inheriting Bitcoin's full mining difficulty, leaving it effectively dead in the water. Throughout both episodes, Bitcoin's price showed no sharp reaction. Technical indicators like the RSI and MACD were neutral, with immediate support seen at $64,000-$64,500 and resistance at $65,000-$65,500. The most notable aspect was the lack of a significant price move following a major wallet vulnerability and an actual chain split. Traders are now watching for a breakout from the $64,000-$66,000 corridor, which may depend more on liquidity, institutional ETF flows, and macroeconomic data than on these past events.

Anonymous cryptocurrency Zcash broke a 9-year trend against Bitcoin

The anonymous cryptocurrency Zcash (ZEC) has broken a 9-year downtrend against Bitcoin (BTC), with the ZEC/BTC pair making a technical breakthrough and consolidating above 0.007904 BTC. This move not only places it above the 200-period moving average but also signals a potential end to its prolonged underperformance against Bitcoin since 2017. Chris Burniske, co-founder of Placeholder VC, notes this bullish cycle is different, as Zcash is holding above key moving averages (20-, 50-, 128-, and 200-period), suggesting a more stable macroeconomic foundation. The shift is attributed to rising demand for financial privacy, driving liquidity into the privacy coin sector. However, Burniske cautions that Bitcoin remains the primary market driver, and its influence could still reshape trends that appear independent.

Meme Coin Jimothy Soars 331% After Elon Musk's Post

The Solana-based meme coin Jimothy The Raccoon (JIMOTHY) surged 331% on August 7 after Elon Musk posted a viral video featuring a raccoon on X. The token's price reached approximately $0.0162, with its market cap hitting $16.2 million and daily trading volume spiking to $25.4 million. Musk did not mention JIMOTHY directly, but the indirect connection was enough to spark intense speculative interest from traders. Launched in July 2026, JIMOTHY is a typical meme coin reliant on community attention and social media trends. Its price history has been highly volatile, with previous spikes following viral moments. The article highlights Musk's established history of influencing meme coin markets through his social media activity, often triggering sharp but short-lived price movements. The summary cautions that JIMOTHY is a speculative asset without fundamental backing, with its value driven by hype. Reaching $1 would require a 62x increase and a $1 billion market cap, a scenario deemed highly challenging. Major risks include extreme volatility, potential market manipulation, and the rapid loss of value if social media interest fades.
