Cryptocurrencies and Iran's arms trade

[gwolf666]

The news about Iran using cryptocurrencies in transactions related to the sale of missiles and warships strikes me as a clear example of how financial technology can be used in scenarios very different from those we usually imagine. What I find most striking is that, while many see cryptocurrencies as tools for economic independence or digital innovation, they also become instruments for evading sanctions and moving capital in sensitive markets. This poses a dilemma: on the one hand, decentralization is a fundamental value of the ecosystem; on the other, it opens the door to uses that generate international concern. For me, the lesson is that regulation and transparency cannot be left behind. The future of cryptocurrencies will depend on how we manage to balance financial freedom with global responsibility.
