Paraguay toma medidas inesperadas: en 15 días identificará todos los datos de las minas del país

【Bitpush】Paraguay is getting serious this time.

On December 4th, the country’s Chamber of Deputies passed two resolutions targeting cryptocurrency mining. The initiative, led by congresswoman María Constancia Benítez, has a clear goal: to thoroughly investigate the rapidly expanding mining farms.

The regulatory authorities have given themselves a 15-day deadline. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce must submit a list of all registered miners, both individuals and companies; the National Electricity Administration (ANDE) has an even tougher task: to list every address authorized to connect to the grid for mining, including the full names of those responsible.

Why such close scrutiny? The data speaks for itself. According to Hashrate Index, Paraguay currently controls about 3.9% of the world’s hashrate, ranking fourth, behind only the United States, Russia, and China. This small South American country, thanks to its surplus hydroelectric power, has become a hot spot for miners.

The energy advantage has attracted a large number of mining farms, and now the government is starting to take stock.
