The legalization of mining in Russia is not just a formality, but a fundamental change in the rules of the game. Since the end of 2024, the industry has received a clear legal framework: companies can mine cryptocurrency after being entered into a special register, and for individuals, an energy consumption limit of 6,000 kWh has been established, along with mandatory tax reporting. However, as practice shows, the bureaucratic complexity of the procedures scares off many private miners who never submitted the documents...
