On Tuesday evening, the New York State Assembly passed a bill that would place a two-year moratorium on crypto mining within the state. The bill focuses on the energy-intensive Proof of Work mining which is of course how Bitcoin is created. This bill still needs to make its way through the State Senate and ultimately to Governor Kathy Hochul, who still has not taken a public side on this debate. New York is heavily focused on reducing the use of energy that creates greenhouse gases, and has a goal of 85% reduction by the year 2050.
