US sanctions Iranian crypto exchange over Strait of Hormuz fees

  • US sanctions target an Iranian crypto exchange that processed Strait of Hormuz fees
  • The measure continues a series of restrictions against Iranian crypto platforms
  • The US had previously sanctioned major Iranian exchanges, including Nobitex
Why it matters: Tightening sanctions on Iranian crypto exchanges shrinks channels for evading restrictions and raises compliance risks for platforms dealing with Iran.
