Iran Allows Exporters to Use Crypto for Repatriating Overseas Earnings

Iran has relaxed its currency controls to permit exporters to bring their overseas earnings back home using cryptocurrency, according to the Financial Times. The move allows traders to directly fund imports with their foreign earnings, effectively sidestepping the country's official foreign-exchange system. The policy shift represents a notable easing of Iran's traditionally strict currency regulations. This development signals Iran's growing willingness to integrate digital assets into its broader trade and financial framework.
