Moscow and surrounding region ban crypto mining until end of 2032
- —Ban in Moscow region and part of Kursk region runs until December 31, 2032
- —Mining restrictions now apply in 16 Russian regions
- —Off-grid generation without grid connection remains exempt
- —Impact on global Bitcoin hashrate is seen as minimal
