What statements have been made? The Agency stressed that cryptocurrency mining is gaining momentum and illegal activities in this area pose a threat to the country’s economic security. The increased energy consumption by illegally installed farms leads to supply disruptions and electricity shortages for businesses and ordinary consumers.
As a result of due diligence, 56 enterprises have voluntarily ceased operations and 51 farms have been disconnected from power sources.
