PANews reported on April 23 that, according to Reuters, Nobitex, Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has processed at least $2.3 billion in funds through Tron and BNB Smart Chain since 2023. Some of these funds originated from the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), which is sanctioned by the United States, and are linked to sanctioned entities such as the IRGC, Hamas, and Hezbollah. Data from blockchain analytics firms Arkham and Elliptic, along with multiple analysts, indicates that over $2 billion in transactions occurred on Tron alone, and approximately $317 million on BNB Smart Chain, with tens of millions of dollars still circulating after the outbreak of hostilities. The report notes that Tron was founded by Justin Sun, and BNB Smart Chain was launched by Binance; both chains have financial and governance overlaps with World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project spearheaded by Trump. Since its inception in 2018, Nobitex has facilitated at least $366 million in sanctioned transactions.
