On-chain analytics firm Elliptic has identified a 700% spike in outflows from Iran’s largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, starting just minutes after the first US-Israeli airstrikes on Saturday.

Nobitex is a key part of Iran’s crypto infrastructure but evidence suggests it is also used by the regime to skirt sanctions and has been linked to bad actors abroad in North Korea, Palestine, Russia and Syria. Cryptocurrency outflows from Iran’s…
