🇷🇺 In Russia, mining farms and data centers may be switched to a "take-or-pay" electricity payment scheme — starting from 2027, facilities with a capacity of 670 kW or more will pay for almost all declared capacity, even if they actually use less.

Authorities believe this will help avoid building unnecessary power grids, but market participants warn — data center costs could increase 4–5 times, and some miners will switch to their own generation or curtail expansion.

🚓 In Krasnodar, a participant in a scheme was convicted who deceived people who had already lost money in the crypto-financial pyramid Cashbery.

The court upheld the verdict: the participant in the scam will spend 3.5 years in a penal colony.
