Iran hosted its inaugural international blockchain and cryptocurrency conference, deBlock 2025, on November 6-7. During the event, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf highlighted the urgent need for a national cryptocurrency roadmap, describing digital assets as essential for Iran's future economy. Ghalibaf noted that the Seventh National Development Plan mandates an increase in the digital economy's share to 10%, a goal he believes is unattainable without the integration of cryptocurrencies.
