Also, the next factor is the nation’s extreme cold climates, which helps efficiently in maintaining the temperature for bigger crypto mining firms. In addition, this directly reduces the cost and power spent towards the need for cooling systems for the mining equipment and firms.

In spite of all this Kazakhstan now ranks third in the world in terms of crypto mining. Hence, it overtook Russia and now Russia stands fourth in the line.

Therefore, Russia is doing all it could to make its way up and to overtake its lost rank to Kazakhstan.

Yet, Russia has to act fast and immediately as it’s running out of time though!
