The Central Bank of Iran has banned the use of bitcoins and other cryptocurrency in all the country's financial centers and financial institutions, the Iranian regulator's press service reported. It is noted that the decision to ban digital currencies is due to the fact that the cryptocurrency could be used for “money laundering and financial support for terrorism”. The decision was made at the end of 2017, but the Central Bank has just published it. As noted by Reuters, the decision to ban cryptocurrency could also be connected with the latest developments in the Iranian currency market, where a record fall of the local rial against the US dollar was noted.
