Kazakhstan has suffered over $2.3 million in losses due to illegal cryptocurrency mining, prompting authorities to increase investigations into the illicit operations. Government agencies have uncovered networks siphoning electricity for mining activities and are targeting those responsible. These unauthorized endeavors pose challenges for energy distribution, straining the nation’s power supply. Regulations have been tightened to prevent further financial loss from this activity, as seen with recent seizures of property purchased with illegally gained funds. Experts predict stricter policies in the crypto sector will be crucial to ensure stable electricity and avoid similar losses in the future.
