Iran’s central bank said on Monday that it had no role in selecting technology service providers for four banks affected by recent disruptions.

The central bank said the banks had been allowed, under decisions by higher authorities, to use other active information technology companies to restore banking services as quickly as possible.

It said any claim that the central bank had directed or recommended the selection of a specific company was baseless.

The bank also warned that it reserved the right to pursue legal action against those who published such claims without evidence.

Global central banks say crypto stablecoins are reinforcing the dominance of the U.S. dollar rather than replacing traditional fiat currencies, as most leading stablecoins are backed by dollar-denominated assets and pegged to the U.S. dollar.

Officials note that the growing adoption of stablecoins increases global demand for U.S. Treasuries and other dollar assets, further strengthening the dollar's role in international payments and finance.

While stablecoins improve the speed and efficiency of digital transactions, central banks emphasize they still rely on the credibility and stability of existing fiat currencies instead of operating independently.

As a result, regulators view stablecoins as a complement to the current financial system rather than a true alternative to sovereign currencies, while continuing to develop regulations to manage associated financial and systemic risks.
