North America region, especially the U.S., currently dominates the global cryptocurrency mining market with an estimated market share of 40.2%  in 2024. The U.S. has favorable electricity prices and climate conditions that allow for efficient crypto mining operations. Several crypto mining farms are based in regions with hydro power such as Washington state which enables cheap electricity costs. The availability of advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. supports development of customized ASIC chips that improve hashing power and efficiency for mining. Furthermore, the presence of major crypto exchanges and trading platforms in the U.S. attracts miners who can easily sell the coins mined.

Asia Pacific region, led by countries like China, is emerging as the fastest growing market for cryptocurrency mining globally. China accounts for over half of the world's bitcoin mining capacity, owing to low electricity prices in provinces such as Sichuan which rely on hydropower. The Chinese government also provides indirect subsidies for electricity usage, which keeps costs low. However, some local authorities have imposed restrictions on new mining farms recently. Other Asia Pacific countries are attracting miners shifting out of China. Significant mining facilities are established in Kazakhstan, which offers cheap electricity and land availability. Countries like Vietnam and Indonesia also offer competitive power prices and favorable taxation on crypto income. Miners are setting up large-scale immobile mining farms in these new Asia Pacific destinations to take advantage of the low-cost environment.
