PANews reported on March 3 that, according to Elliptic's monitoring and analysis, within minutes of the first US-Israeli airstrikes against Iran, cryptocurrency outflows from the Iranian exchange Nobitex surged by 700%. Since January, the exchange has experienced multiple surges in outflows following new US sanctions and nationwide internet disruptions caused by large-scale demonstrations. Elliptic points out that these flows reflect the movement of capital out of the Iranian banking system through digital assets. While this activity demonstrates how funds can bypass traditional channels, it also highlights the inherent transparency of blockchain technology.
