Cryptocurrency mining is gaining traction in Russia, with Innopolis Tech's initiative to establish the largest mining farm in the country with a massive investment of $100 million. The projected hash rate of the farm is set at 3 Eh/s. During the Kazan Cryptoforum, Roman Shaikhutdinov, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan, announced the commencement of the project and the formation of a regional mining operator working group to oversee the operations. He also mentioned the lack of federal regulations but pointed out the State Duma's efforts to introduce a bill aiming to provide a regulatory framework for the industry. Alexander Shoitov, the Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation, highlighted Russia's advancements in cryptocurrency mining, with the country reaching the second position globally in 2023. Russia's potential to utilize up to 5 gigawatts of electric power for mining activities positions it as a key player in the sector. The mining capacity in Russia is expected to grow by 40% in the current year, further solidifying its position. The substantial investment in Innopolis underscores the region's commitment to enhancing its presence in the global cryptocurrency mining market, aiming to stimulate the local economy and bolster Russia's influence in the crypto industry.
