Russia and Iran Crypto Experts Attend Financial Exp
Iranian and Russian business leaders have debated the pros and cons of using crypto assets and blockchain technologies. Local media said that they met at Finex 15.
Crypto and fintech experts from both countries, as well as government officials, spoke at the meeting. These included Mustafa Amiri, secretary of the Iran Fintech Association, and Abbas Ashtiani, CEO of the Iran Blockchain Association, according to the Iranian news site Way2pay.
The meeting included Alexander Brazhnikov, executive director of the Russian Association of Cryptoeconomics, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain (), and Hossein Khosropour, head of Innovation and Investment Support at the Iranian Ministry of Information and Communications Technology.
The financial conference, which started on Tuesday at the Tehran Permanent International Fairgrounds, was also the place where an important statement was made about trade between the two countries and the management of monetary transactions between economic stakeholders.

And in May of this year, Iran’s Trade Promotion Organization announced that a website would be set up to let businesses pay with cryptocurrency overseas.
