Iran Blockchain Association has strongly condemned recent moves to block websites, applications and other online platforms active in cryptocurrency trade
“This is not the solution. Experience has it that restrictive measures against innovative technologies are costly but unsuccessful. It is apparent that technology moves forward,” the association said in a statement.
Earlier in March, in line with the government’s anti-money laundering measures the central bank ordered Shaparak, the local payment settlement network, to block online payment gateways owned by crypto exchange websites.
