🚨 Taliban-controlled Afghan authorities have arrested eight cryptocurrency traders in the city of Herat. They were taken into custody for using cryptocurrency. The Central Bank of Afghanistan banned the use of cryptocurrencies in August 2022, calling them "haram" - prohibited in Islam. 🚫

One of the traders said that he now does not know what to do because commodity prices are very high and the economy is on the verge of collapse.

Both traders claim that the Taliban did not confiscate their crypto assets, but other sources report the arrest of a group of cryptocurrency dealers and the confiscation of their digital assets.
