The existing traditional sector regulations have been enforced upon the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/crypto-trading-exchanges-in-india" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto exchanges</a> in Iran by the lawmakers to put a brake on them.  Iranian parliament <a href="https://arzdigital.com/cases-of-currency-smuggling-were-identified/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed </a>a bill which puts crypto exchanges in the same category as that of a foreign exchange or currency smuggling, according to ArzDigital.

The government, however, had a more positive approach towards crypto mining. Instead of doing what they are with the crypto exchanges they were lenient and handed a plethora of licenses for the mining firms to operate. Iran has a low electricity mining cost, which makes the business's there profitable.  The country crypto adoption peaked after the US <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-charges-iranian-company-and-executives-with-sanctions-violations-11589853084" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sanctions </a>and is now one of the most popular countries for cryptocurrency.
