The Taliban regime in Afghanistan has detained several dealers who ignored orders to cease trading digital assets following a nationwide cryptocurrency ban imposed earlier this month.
Sayed Shah Sa’adat, head of the counter-crime unit of Herat police, បានប្រាប់ Ariana News: “ធនាគារ Da Afghanistan [ធនាគារកណ្តាល] បានបញ្ជាក់នៅក្នុងលិខិតមួយថា ការជួញដូររូបិយប័ណ្ណឌីជីថលបានបង្កបញ្ហាជាច្រើន និងកំពុងបោកប្រាស់មនុស្ស ដូច្នេះពួកគេគួរតែត្រូវបានបិទ។ យើងបានចាត់វិធានការ និងចាប់ខ្លួនអ្នកដោះដូរទាំងអស់ដែលពាក់ព័ន្ធនឹងអាជីវកម្ម ហើយបិទហាងរបស់ពួកគេ»។
Taliban force exchange closures
The report confirmed that the សន្ដិសុខ forces have also shut down at least 16 cryptocurrency exchanges in Afghanistan’s western Herat province in the past week.
Herat resident Mawla Alizada told the paper that if the government does not keep an eye on and stop digital currency activities, assets will leave Afghanistan. He argued that people lose money as a result of syndicate involvement and daily rate fluctuations.
Meanwhile, Sa’adat បានប្រាប់ ទីភ្នាក់ងារ Bloomberg that in Herat, which is Afghanistan’s third-largest ទីក្រុង and a center for trading in digital tokens, more than 20 crypto-related businesses have been shut down.
In addition, according to him, 13 people were detained, the majority of whom were later released on bail.
“The central bank gave us an order to stop all money changers, individuals, and businesspeople from trading fraudulent digital currencies like what is commonly referred to as Bitcoin,” Sa’adat explained.
Crypto ban will impact citizens
The new order essentially likens Afghanistan to China, which បានហាមឃាត់ all crypto activities last year. However, the move now also removes the advantages that cryptocurrency provided to Afghan citizens following the imposition of sanctions by the U.S. sanctions, and the nation’s economic decline since the Taliban took control.
Notably, Afghanistan had made it to the top 20 countries in Chainalysis‘ 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index. istan had made it to the top 20 countries in Chainalysis‘ 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index.
Ghulam Mohammad Suhrabi, head of Herat Money Exchangers’ Union, also recommended against trading in crypto in the country.
“Digital currency accounts are outside the country and are purchased from the companies. Our people are not familiar with it, so it is better not to use it. This currency is new in the market and has high fluctuation [rates],” he said.
