The head of a large Iranian bank defended crypto currency!
He called to recognize and use them in the banking system of the country.
He said that he should officially recognize the activities using digital currencies, as they are now shaping the future of banking.
Masud Khatuni believes that the Central Bank of the country can gradually move to digital currencies, the first step can be the creation of an internal digital currency.
Crypto currency is a useful tool, especially for a nation long under sanctions.
Khatuni suggested that the Central Bank form a specialized group on digital currencies, which should develop rules based on world experience.
Until now, Iranian officials have sent conflicting signals about the prospects of recognizing the country's crypto currency.
A senior Central Bank official said the regulator will continue to explore crypto-currencies and warn investors about the high risks associated with them.
