By bne IntelIiNews July 16, 2021

Cambridge University research published on July 15 by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance showed that China’s share of global bitcoin mining plunged to 46%, down from 75.5% in September 2019.

This boosted Kazakhstan to third largest player in the bitcoin mining industry amid multiple firms fleeing to Kazakhstan from the Chinese government’s crackdowns on cryptocurrency mining.

Kazakhstan saw a nearly sixfold increase in its share of global bitcoin mining in the same period, rising to 8.2% from 1.4%, while the US rose to 16.8% from 4.1% to take the second top spot. Russia and Iran stood as the fourth- and fifth-largest bitcoin mining countries, respectively.
