The cold weather in some Bitcoin mining hotspots brings terrible news for the industry.

Local authorities temporarily halt Bitcoin mining

The National Association of Blockchain and Data Centers Industry in Kazakhstan has announced that "several dozen" of its members have been affected by power outages. The association said that the relevant ministry had cut off electricity to "licensed" crypto-mining centers. It also claims that legal miners have lost about 300 million kWh of electricity since temperatures began to drop. This caused a "direct loss" of more than $9.7 million in total revenue for Kazakhstan's energy industry.

Meanwhile, the government intervened in Iran when temperatures in areas like Bostan Abad dropped to as low as -10 degrees Celsius, driving up energy consumption. Because of this, the government has ordered energy providers to halt registered crypto mining temporarily. According to local media, Iran has suspended crypto-mining to reduce fuel consumption at power plants in light of the falling temperatures. The government had already started restricting the sector last month.

Mining industry in Kazakhstan and Iran strongly grown

According to an article in the Financial Times, electricity demand in Kazakhstan has risen by about eight percent since the beginning of 2021, a significant increase from the one to two percent annual growth the country sees typically. The main reason could be that more miners are migrating from China, which cracked down on cryptocurrencies earlier this year and banned crypto-based transactions in September. The Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC) has also announced that it will ration electricity to 50 state-registered crypto miners to mitigate power outages.

Iran is also one of the largest crypto-mining countries globally, accounting for an estimated 4.5-7% of the global Bitcoin hash rate. The country had previously imposed a temporary blanket ban on crypto mining over the summer, citing peak periods historically for power demand due to hot temperatures. In September, the ban was lifted as Iran's power grid became more stable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
