Bloomberg: Taliban võttis krüpto alla aasta pärast kontrolli haaramist Afganistanis

Taliban piirab Afganistani krüptovaluutakauplejaid, selgub Bloombergi raportist.  

A senior Afghan police officer, Sayed Shah Sa’adaat, kodar with Bloomberg about the crackdown, which has seen 13 people detained so far. Saadat said it came as a response to some Afghans storing their money in crypto to keep it away from the Taliban. 

"Keskpank andis meile korralduse takistada kõigil rahavahetajatel, eraisikutel ja ärimeestel kauplemast petturlike digitaalsete valuutadega, nagu tavaliselt nimetatakse Bitcoiniks," ütles ta.

Bloombergi raporti kohaselt on riigi suuruselt kolmandas linnas Heratis, kus asub kolmveerand riigi krüptovahendusettevõtetest, suletud enam kui 20 krüptoga seotud ettevõtet. 

Afghanistan’s economy has suffered in the year since the Taliban took control, vastavalt to the Financial Times, as large parts of the country have been pushed further into poverty. As shown in the chart below, unemployment in the country jumped sharply last year according to data collected by the World Bank.

The Taliban, which ruled Afghanistan prior to the US-led invasion in 2001, retook control of the country amid the final withdrawal of US forces. The BBC reported in March that the use of crypto had grown more attractive in Afghanistan amid sanctions imposed by the US following the Taliban takeover.
