As How2B reports, Web3 Armenia has issued an open letter expressing disagreement with the Central Bank of Armenia’s proposed crypto regulations. You can read the letter here (in Armenian).
We'd love to hear CBA’s response and see both organizations, along with the Government and the National Assembly engage in a constructive dialogue to shape the future of fintech innovation in Armenia.
Meanwhile, neighboring Georgia is taking a proactive approach. The National Bank of Georgia recently initiated a national fintech strategy focused on:
1. Progressive regulation to support fintech startups
2. Early-stage experimentation with blockchain and emerging technologies
3. Cross-border fintech collaboration to scale Georgian startups internationally
While it’s exciting to see this development in brotherly Georgia, it also serves as a wake-up call for Armenia. With our startup ecosystem, banking sector, and diaspora connections, fintech has a huge development potential here. Public-private partnerships are key to making that happen! Let’s foster dialogue and drive innovation forward.

🇦🇲 Two of Armenia's biggest tech figures honored with the Order for Services to the Fatherland
Hovhannes Avoyan, founder of Armenia's first unicorn, Picsart, and Sam Simonian, founder of TUMO and President of AGBU, were recognized for their long-standing contributions to education, science, culture, economic development and the future of Armenia.
Their journeys look nothing alike, but the mark they've left does. One built a technology company that carried Armenian innovation onto the global stage. The other changed how an entire generation of young Armenians learns to create — TUMO, an idea now borrowed by cities far beyond Armenia.
Both have shown that serving your country doesn't always happen through public office. Sometimes it happens by building companies, creating opportunities, investing in education and helping the next generation dream bigger.
Congratulations to Hovhannes Avoyan and Sam Simonian on this well-deserved recognition.
