According to Reuters, since 2023, Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex, has processed at least $2.3 billion in transactions on the Tron and BNB Smart Chain blockchains. The investigation indicates that Nobitex is secretly controlled by a descendant of one of Iran’s most powerful families, with close ties to the Supreme Leader. Under the leadership of this family, the exchange has grown into a core node of Iran’s parallel financial system, aimed at bypassing Western sanctions. According to Elliptic, since its establishment in 2018, Nobitex has processed at least $366 million in transactions related to sanctioned organizations such as the Central Bank of Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
