Reuters: U.S. authorities release some seized mining machines, industry insiders say a large amount of equipment remains detained

ChainCatcher news, according to Reuters, U.S. authorities have recently begun to release some of the previously seized Chinese-made cryptocurrency mining machines. Industry insiders revealed that as many as 10,000 mining machines were held up at various entry ports in the United States.

Taras Kulyk, CEO of Synteq Digital, stated that thousands of devices have been released, but he noted that some U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials are making things difficult for the crypto industry, causing miners to face serious challenges.

Although some mining machines have been released, Ethan Vera, COO of Luxor Technology, stated that most devices are still in a seized state. He also revealed that U.S. authorities had expressed concerns about the radio frequency emissions of the mining machines, but the industry generally believes these allegations are unfounded.
