$23B in Russian crypto mining revenue is on the chopping block as the country imposes a near decade-long ban starting August 15th.

As of today, Russia is set to ban crypto mining across Moscow and nine Kursk territories, crippling a sector that has fueled the country's digital economy with an estimated $23B in annual revenue. This drastic move is a direct result of President Putin's pledge to transition Russia into a post-oil economy. The ban has significant implications for crypto investors and miners alike - #cryptomining #miningban

The looming ban will also force Russian miners to look overseas, potentially flooding global markets with an influx of mining equipment - #miningequipment.

As investors wait to see how this ban will shake up the global mining landscape, keep an eye on the price of Ethereum (ETH) as it navigates around the current 2,800-3,000 USD resistance level - #ethereum.

Will Russia's mining ban be the spark that ignites a global crypto market reset?
