  • US Sanctions Nobitex and Crypto Firms Over Iran Sanctions Evasion
    June 7, 2026, 11:24 AM EDT. The US Treasury sanctioned Iranian cryptocurrency exchange Nobitex, along with Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex, targeting key figures including chairman Amir Hossein Rad. Nobitex processed over half of Iran's digital asset inflows in 2025, facilitating transactions linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and aiding sanctions evasion. Iran leverages cryptocurrencies and stablecoins to bypass restrictions on banking and trade, using mining to convert energy into digital assets amid domestic power strains. These digital tools also surface in strategic contexts like the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran reportedly considered crypto payments for oil tanker passage. The US warns of sanctions risks tied to Iranian crypto use as Tehran exploits digital assets for financial and geopolitical maneuvering despite global restrictions.
