$IRAN SEES BIGGEST #BTC OUTFLOW AFTER STRIKES 👀🤯🧡
Recent US-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran starting February 28, 2026, triggered a 700% spike in #bitcoin outflows from Iranian exchanges, totaling over $10 million in hours, per Chainalysis and Elliptic data.
Iranians shifted funds to self-custody wallets, echoing patterns from 2025 protests and blackouts where internet disruptions halted but did not deter crypto movements for financial autonomy.
This surge underscores #Bitcoin's role in Iran's $7.8 billion shadow crypto economy, enabling sanctions evasion and serving as a neutral, borderless asset amid escalating regional tensions.
