Russia has taken new steps. The State Duma deputies have submitted a draft law on fines for illegal mining, with a clear increase in penalties for "black mining".

Specifically, fines for individuals range from 100,000 to 150,000 rubles, public officials face fines between 300,000 and 800,000 rubles, and corporate entities are fined between 1 million and 2 million rubles. If the same illegal activity is repeatedly caught, the fine standards will continue to rise.

Actually, the Russian Ministry of Justice had previously considered more severe measures, proposing a maximum fine of 1.5 million rubles for illegal mining. Although this new draft isn't as extreme, the trend indicates that global regulators are indeed tightening their stance on crypto mining. For friends involved in mining activities, compliance issues now need to be given more attention.
