China's 2021 crackdown caused a mass migration of hashrate to the US, Kazakhstan, and Russia. But mining in Xinjiang — within a new compliance framework — has gradually resumed. The region's fundamental electricity cost advantage has not changed.
Why Xinjiang's Advantage Is Structural
Xinjiang's coal and renewable energy abundance, combined with limited power export capacity to eastern China, creates a structural electricity surplus that has benefited energy-intensive industries for decades.
Coinfast's Three Xinjiang Locations
Coinfast operates across three Xinjiang clusters: Hami, Kuitun, and Hetian. These represent Coinfast's founding infrastructure — we built China's first 100MW hosting facility in Xinjiang in 2013. These facilities serve primarily Chinese institutional clients and Asian miners seeking domestic-jurisdiction hosting.
Regulatory Framework
Mining in Xinjiang operates within a specific post-2021 compliance framework. Coinfast's facilities hold full compliance documentation. This is regulated, documented activity — not grey-area operation.
Who Should Consider Xinjiang?
- Chinese institutional clients requiring domestic-jurisdiction hosting
- Miners minimising inter-continental hardware shipping
- Operations seeking competitive grid electricity pricing
