The cryptocurrency market remains under systemic pressure, with no significant signs of reversal observed so far. Bitcoin has locally held above the $80,000 level; however, major buyers are generally passive, maintaining a tense market environment.
Cryptocurrency Market Overview
The market is experiencing systemic pressure, affecting the dynamics of key assets. Although Bitcoin has stayed above the $80,000 mark and shown local recovery, institutional and large players’ responses remain cautious, preventing a sustained upward momentum.
Binance Sets Record Fund Inflow
Representatives of the exchange reported that in 2025, Binance recorded fund inflows exceeding $1.1 trillion — a record among crypto exchanges in the industry’s history. Compared to 2024, inflows increased by more than 30%, and Binance outpaced its closest competitor OKX by nearly eight times in volume, underscoring its dominant market position.
Additional details on fund movements and their market impact can be found in the article about Bitcoin inflows on Binance and in the piece on how a whale uses Binance to convert stablecoins. These materials help understand the sources of large volumes and their effect on the platform’s liquidity.
Mining Ban in Buryatia
The Buryatia regional authorities have expressed support for a full ban on crypto mining to stabilize the region’s power system. According to sources, the region faces a power deficit reaching 3000 MW, which has become a key reason for strict measures in energy-stressed areas.
Earlier this year, restrictions on crypto mining were introduced in energy-deficit regions until 2031, creating additional legal and operational uncertainty for miners operating in these zones.
Post-Quantum Payments in Solana
The Solana Foundation has entered into a partnership agreement with Project Eleven, and researchers at Helius Labs have emphasized the need for Solana blockchain to transition to post-quantum cryptography methodologies. These steps aim to prepare the network for potential systemic threats posed by advances in quantum technologies.
The context also highlights the need for core protocol upgrades to ensure long-term security and resilience of payment solutions within the Solana network.
Why This Matters
For miners in Russia, changes on exchanges and regional energy policies have direct and indirect consequences. Binance’s record inflow reflects liquidity concentration on a single platform, impacting exchange availability and market depth, while local mining restrictions may affect access to cheap electricity and increase operational risks.
Additionally, Solana’s work on post-quantum security shows that blockchain infrastructure is evolving not only in scalability but also in cryptographic protection, which is important to consider when choosing storage and transaction methods for the long term.
What to Do?
If you operate a small farm or a few devices, check the actual region where you consume electricity and clarify local restrictions: special rules apply in energy-deficit regions that may limit mining until 2031. Planning equipment relocation or adjusting operational modes can help reduce risks of sudden shutdowns or administrative penalties.
Evaluate contract terms with electricity suppliers and the availability of backup hosting options. When managing liquidity and withdrawing funds, keep in mind that large volumes are concentrated on specific platforms, so plan your conversion and asset storage strategies in advance to avoid delays and losses during large transactions.
