Cryptocurrency mining has been re-authorized in two Russian regions. 01.03.2026

Cryptocurrency mining has been re-authorized in two Russian regions.

In several districts of the Republic of Buryatia and the Zabaykalsky Krai, permission for cryptocurrency mining will be reinstated on March 15.

The restrictions were in effect during the autumn-winter period—from November 15, 2025, to March 15, 2026—due to increased load on the power grid. In Buryatia, the ban applied to 19 municipal districts and the urban district of Ulan-Ude.

With the end of the heating season, mining in these districts has been re-authorized.

The collapse in mining difficulty was the largest since China's 2021 mining ban. 16.02.2026

The collapse in mining difficulty was the largest since China's 2021 mining ban.

Bitcoin mining difficulty fell by 11%, the largest drop since 2021. This was due to the falling BTC price and declining profitability, which led some miners to shut down less efficient equipment.

After the recalculation, conditions improved for the remaining players: more BTC can be mined with the same power. Experts consider this a natural technical correction and a stage in the industry's renewal.

Bitcoin mining difficulty fell for the fourth time in two months 12.01.2026

Bitcoin mining difficulty fell for the fourth time in two months

Bitcoin mining difficulty is declining for the second month in a row amid a drop in the BTC price and a decrease in miner activity. On January 8, the indicator fell by 1.2% to 146.4 trillion, which was the first decrease in difficulty in 2026.

The fall is due to a decrease in global hash rate: from a peak of 1.31 Zh/s in October, it has decreased to approximately 1.08 Zh/s. This reflects the industry's adaptation to the lower price of Bitcoin, which has fallen by approximately 28% since reaching a high of around $126,000.

 Despite the correction, mining demonstrates maturity, as it has already entered the legal framework in several countries, and interest in the industry remains strong. In 2026, the market is expected to recover due to the rise in BTC prices, the arrival of institutional investors, and the closer integration of mining with the financial market and AI.
