Co-founder of Hive Digital Frank Holmes stated that countries under U.S. sanctions are secretly using Bitcoin mining to access financial flows. According to him, in situations where traditional banking systems become inaccessible due to restrictions, cryptocurrency mining becomes an alternative way to obtain liquidity. This is particularly relevant for states isolated from the global economy, such as Russia or Iran, where mining allows converting energy into assets that are difficult to freeze.
Holmes emphasized that the increasing difficulty of mining and high energy costs do not halt this trend, as countries find ways to optimize processes. He also noted that the decentralized nature of Bitcoin makes it appealing for circumventing sanctions, unlike traditional currencies. Experts suggest that this could lead to increased regulation of the crypto market by international organizations.
This statement has sparked discussions among investors and regulators. Some see it as a threat to the stability of financial systems, while others view mining as a tool for economic survival. Stay updated on the crypto industry news and join #MiningUpdates for fresh updates!
