Kazakhstan to make crypto mining sustainable
By adopting Chinese mining power following the latter’s broad crackdown on the industry, Kazakhstan has emerged as a key player in the Bitcoin (BTC) market. Several mining firms have relocated their operations to the nation to take advantage of the low-cost, plentiful fuel, and favorable regulatory conditions.
However, the country’s Bitcoin mining boom appears to be weakening, as the flood of miners put a strain on the country’s energy supply, prompting the government to restrict miners’ access to electricity. In February, as Cryptonary reported, the Kazakhstan president called for increased taxation on crypto mining due to heavy power usage. The country has also cracked down on 106 illegal crypto miners, ceasing their operations in the nation.
