The National Bank of the Republic of Tajikistan published a public notice stating that reports circulating online that its chair had announced the start of a cryptocurrency exchange in Tajikistan are unfounded. The bank noted the claims have been spreading for several days on some websites and social networks and are attributed to the chair without specifying where, when, or with whose participation the alleged remarks were made. It warned that advances in digital technology and artificial intelligence have made it easier to create and distribute fake news, images, and videos, and urged citizens not to trust suspicious sources and to rely only on official government websites.
