The Iranian currency market commenced Monday, June 22, 2026, with the US Dollar (USD) showing continued strength against the Toman. The sell rate for USD was recorded at 159,850 Toman, while the buy rate stood at 158,904 Toman, indicating a persistent upward trend. Other major foreign currencies also reflected this sentiment, with the Euro (EUR) selling at 183,300 Toman, the British Pound (GBP) at 211,450 Toman, and the UAE Dirham (AED) at 43,400 Toman. The Turkish Lira (TRY) was priced at 3,440 Toman. These figures underscore the ongoing dynamics in the foreign exchange market, where demand for hard currencies remains robust.
In the precious metals sector, the gold and coin market opened with significant values. The Emami coin, a key indicator for Iranian investors, was priced at 163,500,000 Toman. The Azadi coin followed at 158,000,000 Toman, and the Nim Seke at 85,000,000 Toman. Gold 18-karat per gram, a common measure for jewelry, reached 16,058,451 Toman. Globally, the gold ounce was trading at $4,192.10, providing a benchmark for local prices. The high prices in the coin market often reflect both intrinsic gold value and speculative demand within the country, as investors seek hedges against inflation and currency depreciation.
The cryptocurrency market also presented notable figures this morning. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading digital asset, was trading at $64,173, maintaining its position above the crucial $64,000 psychological level. Ethereum (ETH) followed, priced at $1,736.39. Locally, the Tether stablecoin (USDT) was closely aligned with the USD Toman rate, trading at 160,050 Toman. This close correlation highlights USDT's role as a bridge between the traditional Toman market and the global crypto ecosystem, offering a relatively stable digital asset option for Iranian investors navigating currency fluctuations and seeking alternative investment avenues.
