WANA (Nov 27) – The CEO of Iran’s Over-the-Counter (OTC) Market announced that Iran ranks fifth globally in terms of Bitcoin ownership relative to population—an indicator, he said, of the country’s “very strong” public appetite for digital assets.

 

He added that, following Bitcoin’s more than 8,000% gain over the past decade, the OTC Market has been planning the launch of a “digital assets board,” a major step toward legalizing and increasing transparency in cryptocurrency trading.

 

Details of the initiative include the introduction of Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds would allow investors to gain exposure to digital assets in a secure environment without needing to manage their own crypto wallets.
