Kazakhstan is promoting crypto mining enterprises
In the past few months, Kazakhstan has attracted many crypto mining companies after China banned the industry last year. However, several critics say that the crypto exchange businesses might not benefit a country as it does not create a good amount of jobs, pay very little tax, and transfer most amount of their profit abroad. In reply to this issue, the government took steps to shut down all the illegal mining farms in their country and expand their requirements for registration.
