Iran Should Mine Crypto to Skirt Sanctions, Says President-Linked Think Tank

According to Iran Wire, the Iranian Presidential Center for Strategic Studies report says “cryptocurrency extraction” could provide economic benefits to several different sectors of the troubled economy.

The think tank says that the industry could generate $2 million a day and $700 million a year in revenue from mining, while revenues from transaction fees could generate $22 million.

The authors wrote:

“If large mining farms are established, the need to employ manpower for monitoring and repair, security, electrical engineers, and technical staff related to hardware and software equipment will increase, which leads to more job opportunities in other sectors.”

According to Coindesk, another key point made by the think tank is that bitcoin (BTC) could help circumvent sanctions on Iran.

They stated:

“As the newly-extracted bitcoins are not easily traceable, despite the pressure of sanctions on the country, domestic economic actors can use newly-extracted cryptocurrencies, which are preferable to exist bitcoins, on international exchanges.”
