According to Bitcoin.com, economist Mohammad Sadegh Alhosseini stated that Iran holds cryptocurrencies worth between $30 billion and $50 billion, accounting for approximately one-third of the country's gold market. The daily cryptocurrency trading volume in Iran is approximately 143 million US dollars (100 trillion riyals). The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) and the Ministry of Finance are developing measures to increase transparency in the cryptocurrency market, which has been used to bypass US sanctions on the international banking industry. Last Saturday, CBI released a policy document aimed at aligning cryptocurrency trading with Iran's anti money laundering and tax laws. Alhosseini warns that stricter regulation may result in companies evading sanctions being punished by the United States, which will hold CBI accountable. He suggested that private entities can play a role in organizing the market and reducing the risk of direct government supervision.
