Iran regulates cryptocurrency with strict controls: only government-approved trading is legal, stablecoin holdings are capped, mining is monitored, and a national digital currency is being rolled out. Crypto isn't banned-but it's owned by the state.

Crypto mining in Iran is legal in 2025 but tightly controlled by the government. Miners must get licenses, pay high electricity rates, and face sudden shutdowns during power crises. State-backed operations dominate the industry, making it risky for individuals and foreign investors.
