As China's electricity prices rise, some local Bitcoin miners have relocated their operations to Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Compared with China's thermal power cost of more than US $ 0.06 per kilowatt-hour, the average electricity price of Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan is US $ 0.03 per kilowatt-hour, which is increasingly attractive to Chinese miners. In addition, countries like Uzbekistan are increasingly open to cryptocurrency mining and trading, and are pushing the once-underground industry to a climax.
