Iran Unveils New Cryptocurrency Regulations to Boost Economic Growth
Iran's Central Bank has unveiled a new regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency sector, positioning itself as the primary authority overseeing the industry.
This policy allows the bank to license crypto brokers and custodians, with a focus on ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering (AML), tax, and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) laws. The framework also aims to support economic growth by leveraging cryptocurrencies for job creation and bypassing sanctions.
CBI governor Mohammadreza Farzin and Minister of Economic Affairs Abdolnasser Hemmati have emphasized managing the risks of crypto rather than imposing restrictive measures.
Iran sees cryptocurrencies as a solution to economic challenges, using them to circumvent international sanctions.
