The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reportedly intervened to halt Pakistan's proposed plan to provide subsidized electricity for cryptocurrency mining operations. According to sources, the IMF has warned that such energy subsidies could potentially destabilize the country's power market. This decision leaves Pakistan's ambitions to establish itself as a regional hub for Bitcoin mining in uncertainty. The move reflects growing global scrutiny of cryptocurrency mining's energy consumption patterns, particularly in emerging economies with fragile energy infrastructures.
