According to Foresight News , Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina stated in an interview with Russian media RBC that it is currently difficult to quantify the impact of cryptocurrency mining because a large part of it remains in a gray area, but mining is indeed one of the factors contributing to the strengthening of the ruble.
In addition, a Russian presidential aide also stated earlier this month that cryptocurrency mining is "a new export product" and is having an impact on the Russian foreign exchange market.
