International cryptocurrency exchanges have frozen the assets of Iranian citizens and blocked their accounts after intelligence reported possible cooperation between local exchanges and the Iranian government.
Following US sanctions, international exchanges left the Iranian market, and local platforms like Nobitex took their place. However, according to open sources, Nobitex may be cooperating with the Iranian government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), violating international anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws.
Investigations have shown that Nobitex shareholders have ties to the Iranian leadership, raising concerns in the international community.
