🧨 A **new report** shows Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) *used cryptocurrency to move roughly $1 billion* via British-registered exchanges to **evade international sanctions** — largely using stablecoins like USDT on Tron, according to blockchain firm TRM Labs. A significant portion of trading volume on those platforms was linked to IRGC-associated wallet addresses, highlighting ongoing geopolitical use of crypto infrastructure. ([The Washington Post][1])

📉 Meanwhile, **Iran’s economy is under strain**, with the national currency (the **rial**) hitting record lows — driving protests and sparking discussions about crypto as an alternative store of value — and Iran’s citizens increasingly turning to Bitcoin and other tools to preserve purchasing power.

📍 **Iran & Crypto Update**

Crypto isn’t just a market trend — it’s now a tool in real-world geopolitics.

Recent blockchain analytics reveal Iran’s IRGC moved nearly **$1 B in crypto** to bypass sanctions, mostly via stablecoins — highlighting how digital finance intersects with global tensions. 🇮🇷💱

At the same time, Iran’s collapsing rial and social unrest are pushing citizens toward Bitcoin and decentralized tools as alternatives to failing fiat.

Crypto’s role keeps expanding — beyond trading, beyond markets… into systems that matter.
