While the Russian authorities are persistently working on the regulation of digital assets, another proposal has been made by a federal ministry for the mining sector of cryptocurrency. The Economic Development Ministry of Russia has given a go-ahead signal to the idea of regulating crypto mining across the country, suggesting to permit the mining activities in certain areas with a sustainable additional amount of electricity, as reported on Tuesday by Izvestia (a native news agency).
As included in the proposal, it was suggested by the ministry that a decrease should be incorporated into the fees charged over the establishment of mining farms as well as data centers for specific Russian areas along with offering minimized energy rates in the case of these facilities. In addition to this, the ministry proposes to put a limitation over the power utilization for miners, frequently suggesting the implementation of higher rates of energy for extensive energy expenditure. The authority has not yet determined a limit for this, as noted by the report.
In the words of the ministry, the latest proposal would eliminate the hazards of deficient power supply for infrastructure, social, as well as housing facilities in the rest of the areas of Russia. Apart from this, it has been for several times that the ministry reportedly recommended legalizing crypto mining and providing it a status of a commercial operation along with the imposition of taxes over the legalized gains from the respective mining.
It was previously reported that the finance ministry of Russia has been promoting the crypto industry’s regulation, whereas a considerably stringent stance has been taken by the Russian central bank by emphasizing banning crypto transactions, referring to the hazards related to investor protection. Formerly, the government authorized the crypto regulation on 8th February when Elvira Nabiullina (the governor of the Russian central bank) announced that the organization did not consent to the decision of the state and will keep on confronting the adoption of crypto across Russia.
The authorities as well as the Bank of Russia are anticipated to issue a mutual bill for crypto regulation by the coming Friday. Recently, a few of the prominent state-backed financial organizations in the country have reinforced the notion of countrywide crypto regulation. The executive board’s deputy chairman at Sber (a banking giant in Russia) – Anatoly Popov – expressed the support of the firm for the regulation instead of the prohibition of the industry.
