Financial Tribune |  Mohammad Affianian: The Central Bank of Iran unveiled its draft policy on cryptocurrencies and invited experts and industry players to send their suggestions. 

At the vanguard of the cryptocurrency enthusiasts is  Iran Blockchain Community – an NGO active on the blockchain scene since June 2017.

Since inception IBC has held conferences, such as the BTC Day to mark Bitcoin Day and seminars in  universities, including in the University of Shiraz and University of Isfahan. It also held events in Tehran and other cities to help educate the public on cryptocurrencies.
