In Moscow, the Moscow region, and eight border districts of the Kursk Oblast, a ban on cryptocurrency mining has come into force. The corresponding decree was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on July 31.
In the Kursk Oblast, the prohibition zone includes the Belovsky, Bolshesoldatsky, Glushkovsky, Korenevsky, Lgovsky, Rylsky, Sudzhansky, and Khomutovsky districts, as well as the city of Lgov.
The ban is effective until December 31, 2032. Moscow authorities have stated that mining consumes a lot of energy but does not yield results for the economy. In the Kursk Oblast, the restriction is explained by an energy deficit. The ban is already in effect in 13 energy-deficient regions, including the Irkutsk Oblast, Buryatia, and Zabaykalsky Krai.
