Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stressed that the country must adopt cryptocurrency to achieve its digital economy goals. Speaking at a blockchain event, Ghalibaf listed developing a national roadmap for crypto assets as a key priority. Iran's latest national development plan aims for the digital economy to contribute 10% to the overall economy—a goal considered unattainable without embracing cryptocurrency.
Kalibaf called on the Ministry of Economy and Industry, the Central Bank, and other government agencies to coordinate efforts to ensure the standardized development of the sector. This statement highlights Iran's strategic shift towards blockchain technology and digital assets as key drivers of its economic transformation.
