#数字资产动态追踪 In 2026, Turkmenistan made a major announcement at the start of the year—officially recognizing cryptocurrency mining and exchange operations, and including them within the central bank's regulatory framework. This marks a milestone for the entire Central Asia region. It’s worth noting that this country has abundant energy reserves, and with this policy in place, it could potentially become a new hub for the mining industry in the future.

However, there is a point to watch out for: the prerequisite of central bank regulation means that trading operations will be subject to strict scrutiny. This "open but with boundaries" approach is likely to serve as a reference model for other Central Asian countries. Nevertheless, whether this policy will truly drive a wave of cryptocurrency adoption in the region ultimately depends on how it is implemented and the level of enforcement.

A major energy-consuming country getting into mining, I've seen this trick before... I'm just worried that in the end, it'll be all talk and no action.

Turkmenistan's recent moves, combining energy advantages with regulatory frameworks, are indeed noteworthy. Mining under central bank regulation, in simple terms, is about wanting to enjoy the benefits without allowing free play. Other Central Asian countries are probably watching.

Turkmenistan's move is really impressive this time. The energy advantage combined with central bank backing makes mining a new paradise. Whether the central bank's regulatory hurdle can really be overcome depends on the specific implementation later on. Talking without action is just a bluff. Other Central Asian countries are eyeing this model with envy, but it will probably take some time to truly implement. With energy so cheap, missing this opportunity would be ridiculous. The only concern is policy fluctuations. To put it simply, the strategy of opening up with boundaries is a double-edged sword. It attracts capital, but how much freedom will remain is hard to say.

Turkmenistan has abundant energy resources. If they can really get mining going, they might become a dark horse. As for the central bank framework... it sounds open but not quite open. Whether it's a positive or a constraint depends on how things develop later. If other Central Asian countries follow suit, they need to be careful not to get stuck. Having policies without implementation is pointless. The biggest risk with these kinds of things is loud thunder but little rain. Energy advantage plus policy support—these conditions are there; it all depends on whether they can handle it or not.
