Acoording to announcement of Alireza Peyman Pak, head of Iran Trade Development Organization, first official registration of import orders with cryptocurrency worth 10 million dollars was realized in August of this year, and this event can be a way to increase sanctions and facilitate trade with the world, because by tightening of economic sanctions, The path of traders for economic activities and mechanism of financial transfers and bank exchanges are faced with restrictions that are considered one of the main obstacles to development of foreign trade.
