After its April’s crackdown on digital assets, Iran is finally warming up to crypto while planning to issue its own rial-pegged currency. According to a local media outlet Financial Tribune, the Central Bank of Iran announced that it would lift an earlier imposed crypto ban by the end of this September.
Iran is currently designing a new regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, which was discussed during a recent Blockchain conference. Digital assets were banned due to money laundering concerns and capital flight, but now Tehran is reviewing its position.
Earlier, U.Today reported that Iran has finalized its national cryptocurrency draft.
