The Chinese province of Yunnan is getting set to ban cryptocurrency mining, becoming the latest one to do so, according to Forkast News, citing BTC.top, one of China's top mining pools.
- The coming ban follows similar actions in Qinghai, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.
- BTC.top said it would need to accelerate shifting operations to North America as well as to the hydropower-rich province of Sichuan, Forkast said in the report.
- The bans are in response to the central government’s concerns about high energy-consuming industries and environmental pollution as well as the State Council’s directive to maintain financial stability by cracking down on crypto mining and trading.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch
When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
What to know:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.

- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
