Blockchain technology is a way to circumvent US sanctions, said the secretary of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution of Iran Saeed Reza Ameli, Trend reports citing IRNA.
"Blockchain could be an opportunity to expand the private sector's performance and cooperation systems,” he said, adding that this technology requires regulation.
Ameli believes that the blockchain technology provides the opportunity to bypass global governance systems.
"Although the blockchain technology is aimed at creating new currency, it opens a new path, which is, in fact, a new governance,” he added.
