伊朗里亚尔跌至历史低点，美国新制裁首次将数字资产列为目标

The Iranian rial has fallen to an all-time low this week, with the open market exchange rate dropping to approximately 2.02 million rials per US dollar on August 24, compared with about 1.53 million rials in the first quarter. During the same period, the U.S. government launched "Operation Economic Outcast," adding more than 60 entities to the Treasury's blacklist and, for the first time, designating digital assets as a sanctionable sector.

State-run farms linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) control approximately 65% of Iran's Bitcoin mining capacity. Iranian miners have accounted for about 3% to 7% of global Bitcoin hash rate since 2019, with the mined Bitcoin valued at an estimated $1.35 billion to $3.15 billion at various stages.

Iran legalized Bitcoin mining in 2019, allowing licensed operators to use industrial electricity at approximately $0.004 per kilowatt-hour and sell mined tokens to the Central Bank of Iran. Chainalysis estimates that IRGC-linked wallets received over $3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025; Elliptic states that the Central Bank of Iran holds at least $507 million in USDT.

The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Nobitex, Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex in June. Nobitex had handled more than half of Iran's digital asset inflows; in April, the U.S. Treasury seized nearly $500 million in Iran-linked crypto assets. (Bitcoin.com News)
