Iran Cracks Down as Over 95% of 427,000 Crypto Miners Operate Without License

Iran’s cryptocurrency mining sector is grappling with a massive wave of unauthorized activity, with authorities estimating that more than 95% of the country’s 427,000 active mining rigs function without official permission.
