As we said in the community before, it is possible to see more countries join the cryptocurrency layout in 2022 besides El Salvador. Amazing, the next country is coming, and that is Iran.
Iran Labor News Agency announced that Iran's central bank reached an agreement with the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade to connect CBI's encryption platform with the integrated trade system. Generally speaking, it means that Iranian enterprises can use encrypted assets to settle funds with overseas users, which can be regarded as the recognition of the existence and functionality of encrypted assets at the national level.
It is reported that the Iranian government is preparing a mechanism to enable the use of cryptocurrency in international trade. The head of Iran Trade Promotion Organization said that the new payment mechanism is expected to be completed in the next two weeks. Iran's relaxation of bitcoin and encrypted assets has attracted more attention than El Salvador. The more important reason is that the area of El Salvador is different from that of Iran.
The population of Iran is about 80 million, several times that of El Salvador. In addition, Iran's global economy has reached 1 trillion US dollars, ranking 40th in the world and 7th in Asia. Therefore, Iran's relaxation of encrypted assets this time can be said to be a milestone in the development history of Bitcoin.
