俄罗斯在 10 个地区禁止加密货币挖矿，但并未完全反对加密货币

随着围绕美国总统唐纳德·特朗普建立比特币储备计划的讨论升温，俄罗斯和中国等其他大国也暗示了类似举措。

Russia has announced a ban on cryptocurrency mining in 10 regions, a move that signals a contrasting approach to digital assets and highlights the varying global positions on cryptocurrency regulation and adoption.

俄罗斯宣布在 10 个地区禁止加密货币挖矿，此举标志着对数字资产采取截然不同的态度，并凸显了全球在加密货币监管和采用方面的不同立场。

According to a recent report by the TASS Russian News Agency, 10 regions have been included in the ban, which will take effect on 1 January 2025. These regions are Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia, Chechnya, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and in the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.

据俄罗斯塔斯社近日报道，该禁令已包括10个地区，将于2025年1月1日生效。这些地区包括达吉斯坦、印古什、卡巴尔达-巴尔卡尔、卡拉恰伊-切尔克斯、北奥塞梯、车臣、顿涅茨克和卢甘斯克人民共和国以及扎波罗热和赫尔松地区。

Additionally, temporary restrictions will be imposed on certain areas during peak energy demand periods, including the Irkutsk region, Buryatia, and the Trans-Baikal Territory.

此外，在能源需求高峰期，某些地区将实施临时限制，包括伊尔库茨克地区、布里亚特共和国和跨贝加尔地区。

Officials have stated that this decision to impose restrictions on crypto mining is aimed at addressing regional energy demands, while also resolving disparities in electricity pricing.

官员们表示，这一对加密货币挖矿施加限制的决定旨在解决地区能源需求，同时也解决电价差异。

For example, Sergey Kolobanov, Deputy Director of the Center for Economics of Fuel and Energy Complex at the CSR, highlighted that maintaining low electricity prices in certain oblasts often leads to higher costs for other consumers, creating an imbalance.

例如，CSR燃料和能源综合体经济中心副主任谢尔盖·科洛巴诺夫（Sergey Kolobanov）强调，某些州保持低电价往往会导致其他消费者的成本上升，从而造成不平衡。

Regional policy specialist Vladimir Klimanov supported this position, stating that establishing equitable electricity pricing across the country to ensure fairness and stability in the energy market is important.

区域政策专家弗拉基米尔·克里马诺夫（Vladimir Klimanov）支持这一立场，并表示在全国范围内建立公平的电价以确保能源市场的公平和稳定非常重要。

“Traditionally, residents and businesses in central Russia actually pay part of the costs that arise due to low electricity tariffs in the regions of the North Caucasus or the Far East,” Klimanov said.

克里马诺夫说：“传统上，俄罗斯中部的居民和企业实际上支付了由于北高加索或远东地区电价较低而产生的部分成本。”

“The measures introduced by the government should contribute to more equitable conditions for doing business in such a specific area throughout the country,” he added.

他补充说：“政府采取的措施应有助于为全国特定地区的经营提供更公平的条件。”

It is important to note that the mining ban does not indicate that Russia is completely closing the door on digital assets.

需要注意的是，采矿禁令并不表明俄罗斯完全关闭了数字资产的大门。

In fact, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently acknowledged the growing prominence of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and recognized their potential to transform global financial systems.

事实上，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京最近承认比特币等加密货币的地位日益突出，并认识到它们改变全球金融体系的潜力。

Speaking at the Moscow Investment Forum on 4 December, Putin’s comments reflected a shift in perspective, with opinions transitioning from criticism of Bitcoin to a more balanced position that stops short of outright prohibition.

12 月 4 日，普京在莫斯科投资论坛上发表讲话，反映了观点的转变，观点从对比特币的批评转变为更加平衡的立场，而不是彻底禁止。

“Who can ban Bitcoin? Nobody. And, who can prohibit the use of other electronic means of payment? Nobody. Because they are new technologies,” Putin said.

“谁可以禁止比特币？没有人。并且，谁可以禁止使用其他电子支付方式？没有人。因为它们是新技术，”普京说。

This evolving outlook suggests that Russia may yet find a way to harmonize its regulatory framework with the opportunities presented by digital currencies.

这种不断变化的前景表明，俄罗斯可能仍会找到一种方法，使其监管框架与数字货币带来的机遇相协调。
