Earlier, on August 8, it was reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law that will legalize cryptocurrency mining in Russia from November. Russian legal entities and individual entrepreneurs included in the register of the Ministry of Digitization will be entitled to engage in mining. In addition, Russians who do not have individual entrepreneurs will be able to engage in this activity, but within the limits of energy consumption limits set by the government. They will also be entitled to carry out the activities of a mining infrastructure operator after being included in the register of such operators, which will also be maintained by the Ministry of Finance.
