Movements in the Crypto Space

New York Senate passes a bill to ban Bitcoin mining to reduce environmental problems.

New York state senators voted 36-27 in favor of the bill, which now goes to New York’s governor. If the bill is approved, New York will be the first U.S. state to introduce its rules banning Bitcoin mining.

The bill targets the mining of certain cryptocurrencies that use proof-of-work, which is said to have high energy consumption. This includes several popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.

However, existing crypto-mining companies or those in the process of renewing their licenses will be allowed to continue operating.
