Iran’s crypto market, worth about $7.8 billion, is seeing a sharp rise in activity as tensions and airstrikes increase in the region. Data from blockchain analysis firms Chainalysis and Elliptic show that money leaving Iranian crypto exchanges jumped as much as 873% above normal levels after the attacks. Experts say people and organizations may be moving their funds to keep them safe or to avoid financial restrictions. With high inflation, a weakening currency, and ongoing geopolitical tensions, many Iranians are turning to cryptocurrency as a financial lifeline. At the same time, the government is also using crypto to help manage economic pressure caused by international sanctions.
