Treasury widens Iran crypto crackdown with sanctions on two more exchanges
The U.S. Treasury has expanded its sanctions against Iran's cryptocurrency activities, designating Shelbit Exchange and Aban Tether for allegedly facilitating illicit financial transactions. These entities are accused of helping Iran move funds beyond conventional banking systems, with Shelbit linked to over $2 million in transactions involving the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Treasury aims to dismantle these networks, highlighting that while blockchain offers an alternative for sanctioned states, it also leaves a traceable record.
