Bitcoin to be used for imports in Iran, according to a new law
Iran will allow national imports to be funded through cryptocurrencies, according to a report from the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) and the Ministry of Energy. The country has amended legislation on digital assets, which also means that legally mined cryptocurrencies in Iran can only be exchangeable if they are used to finance imports from other countries.
Back on April 22, 2018, the Central Bank of Iran announced that handlings cryptocurrencies by financial institutions would be illegal. Laws in Iran regarding cryptos have changed drastically over the years.
In 2018, the mining of cryptocurrencies became legal. Unfortunately, in 2019, Iran's government shut down all the mining operations using industrial electricity and made it illegal again. Eventually, the country did recognize cryptocurrency mining as an industry within its borders.
Iran becomes the first country to use cryptocurrencies at a state level
Bitcoin miners in Iran will have a legal cap for the number of coins they can mine depending on the amount of subsidized energy. Further instructions will be published by the Ministry of Energy. The report by the CBI and the Ministry of Energy stated:
The miners are supposed to supply the original cryptocurrency directly and within the authorized limit to the channels introduced by the CBI
Iran Daily, the official newspaper of Iran's government, suggested that a +1.55% change on Bitcoin should be used for import payments to avoid sanctions on Iran's access to the dollar.
