Dogecoin Ranks Among Top Cryptocurrencies for Mining in Russia

Dogecoin (DOGE) has entered the top three most popular cryptocurrencies for mining in Russia, reported Deputy Anton Gorelkin, citing data from the ROCIT.

The meme coin accounts for 8.4% of mining, trailing only Bitcoin (49.4%) and Litecoin (11.1%).

DOGE is popular due to its support for merged mining with “digital silver”—LTC, which makes the process more profitable.

Gorelkin noted that a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency mining is developing in Russia. The first registry of operators (ROMI) already includes 98 participants, while the second (RMCV) lists 563 entities.

The deputy highlighted that in April, miners will submit tax reports for the first time.

Previously, experts estimated the sector’s budget contributions at 50-60 billion rubles annually. Gorelkin believes actual data will reveal the accuracy of these forecasts.

Back in November 2024, Russia adopted a law on digital currency taxation, and in February 2025, a section for Bitcoin miners appeared on the FTS website.
