As of July 30, 2025, new rules for data centers have come into effect in Russia, requiring them to provide the Federal Tax Service (FTS) with detailed information about cryptocurrency miners and their equipment. This initiative is part of the legalization of mining, which began in November 2024, and aims to strengthen control over the industry, which ranks second in the world in terms of industrial capacity.
Data centers and hosting providers must transmit data on energy consumption, equipment, and miners' income. Individuals are allowed to mine with a limit of up to 6000 kWh per month, while industrial miners in 11 regions face bans due to electricity shortages.
Experts believe that the new rules will enhance transparency but may complicate operations for small miners. Large companies, such as BitRiver and Intelion, are adapting by dividing capacities between mining and AI tasks. The legislation also provides for the creation of a digital registry of mining equipment, which will help combat illegal activities.
These changes are shaping a new era for the Russian crypto market, increasing its regulation and integration into the economy. Follow #MiningUpdates to stay updated on the news!
