Laos to Crypto Miners: Power's Out by 2026
Update: 2025-10-16
Description
Laos pulls the plug on crypto? The country is considering cutting off electricity to crypto miners by early 2026 to power booming industries like AI and EVs. Once a haven for cheap hydropower crypto mining, Laos now sees crypto as a low-value industry. With a focus on becoming the battery of Southeast Asia and a major legal battle over unpaid hydropower dues, Laos is prioritizing energy exports and industries that promise faster economic growth. Crypto miners, beware: your days may be numbered.
