Additionally, this suggests growing mainstream crypto adoption. Bitcoin is joining traditional balance sheets while positioning itself as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainity.

Kucoin BTC Reserves Plunge 77% After Mandatory KYC Announcement

Read Time:1 Minute, 5 Second

Kucoin exchange has seen its Bitcoin reserves drop by over 77% following a recent mandatory KYC requirement.

 

Kucoin, the Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange, resolved its criminal charges in January 2025, paying $3oo million in fines. This came after admitting to charges of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business while ignoring anti-money laundering protocols on its platform.  The worst crypto hack of the year 2020 left Kucoin bleeding $281 million in losses after a major security breach.

As a result of these challenges, Kucoin is trying to improve its Know Your Customer (KYC) checklist. This will require gathering more information about its exchange users and their operations. On-chain data by Cryptoquant has revealed that the exchange’s reserves have dropped 77.6% following a mandatory KYC policy.

 

Source: X

 

Bitcoin reserves have dropped from 18,300 BTC to 4,100 BTC, a 14,200 BTC outflow.  This is a significant outflow from a major exchange in the crypto market.

The drop in BTC reserves suggests that users have been reacting to strict compliance requirements and could be shifting to cold storage or other platforms. This is because privacy concerns and custodial risks are major considerations for crypto investors and enthusiasts on crypto service platforms.

Russia Ranks as the Most Profitable Bitcoin Mining Region Globally

Read Time:59 Second

Russia has emerged as a very profitable Bitcoin mining region based on electricity and mining costs per BTC.

 

Bitcoin mining has been a profitable sector since the birth of the cryptocurrency market. However, as miner rewards decrease after every Bitcoin halving event and the cost of mining equipment rises, investors have to be strategic about their firm locations. This is due to varying costs of electricity, tax policies, and other factors that slash profit margins across different regions.

A recent report by NFT Evening has analyzed mining costs across different regions globally, considering electricity costs in each location. According to the data, Russia has ranked as the most profitable BTC mining region. It costs approximately $39k to mine 1 BTC, worth $95k in the current market price.

A country like Germany costs $230k while the U.S costs $85K per Bitcoin mined. There exists a significant profit margin for investors mining in Russia due to affordable energy, as Western nations face low cost-efficiency in the mining process.

Russia’s energy advantage could reshape the BTC mining industry and global hashpower distribution.

Bitcoin Miner Reserve Hit Lowest Levels as Miners Capitalize on Surging Price

Read Time:1 Minute, 0 Second

Bitcoin miners are capitalizing on BTC’s surging prices and have sold 943 BTC, reducing reserves to the lowest levels in 15 years.

 

As the Bitcoin price surges towards the psychological $100K, miners have taken advantage of the price increase to pocket profits. A look into the on-chain metrics reveals that miners have been capitalizing on BTC’s price rally, selling around 943 Bitcoins.

They have pocketed approximately $850 million between April 15 and April 28. The sell-off came during Bitcoin’s price rally from $84,000 to around $94,570.

 

Source: X

 

As a result of this capitalization, Bitcoin reserves have declined from approximately 1.8083 to 1.8081 million BTC in this period. This is the lowest since February 2010, 15 years ago.

Why are Miners Selling BTC?

Miners face pressure from increased operational costs that could trigger financial instabilities. The trade tariff war in April hit miners hard as equipment prices surged. Additionally, reduced block rewards post the Bitcoin halving event meant decreased income.

However, the rising institutional demand for BTC is absorbing the miner supply, and BTC’s rally remains unaffected by the sell-offs.
