On September 29, the CEO of Tehran\u2019s Stock Exchange Market resigned after it was revealed there were dozens of cryptocurrencies miners discovered in its basement. When it was first reported that there was a mining farm in Tehran\u2019s Stock Exchange Market\u2019s building, the public relations of this organization vehemently denied it.<\/p>\n

Yet, in its statement, it said: \u201cSince 2020, due to the migration of liquidity from the stock exchange to cryptocurrencies, and due to the creation of the liquidity outflow crisis, an investigation and research project was launched.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state-run Mashreq News reported on September 29 that according to an announcement by the stock exchange organization, \u201cduring the supervision of the stock exchange organization, several miners who the stock exchange company exploited were discovered in the building of the aforementioned company. During the investigation, we found that the activity was not fully recorded and disclosed in the reports and by the accounts of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

To cover up this scandal, Ali Sahraei, the CEO of Tehran\u2019s Stock Exchange Market<\/a>, resigned. \u201cTo create an opportunity for further research on the issue of cryptocurrency mining in the Tehran Stock Exchange and to consolidate the capital market, I submitted my resignation to the board of directors of the Tehran Stock Exchange, and the board approved my resignation,\u201d he claimed in a statement.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s electricity organization, Tavanir, at first denied the existence of miners. Then, after Sahraie\u2019s resignation, Tavanir refused to give any comments about this incident. Meanwhile, it has been reported by the state media that these miners used a high volume of electricity.<\/p>\n

This new scandal comes while the regime arrests ordinary citizens for having one or a couple of miners at home. As acknowledged by the state media, the ongoing electricity shortage <\/a>in Iran is due to the regime\u2019s systematic cryptocurrency mining. These farms are exclusively run by the Revolutionary Guards<\/a> (IRGC) to generate income for funding its illicit activities.<\/p>\n

The existence of this mining farm in Tehran\u2019s Stock Exchange<\/a> building comes after months of protests by the defrauded people who the regime deceived into investing in the Stock Exchange Market and later plundered them. There have been dozens of protests by the defrauded creditors in the last few months.<\/p>\n
