The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control<\/a> sanctioned four Iranian cryptocurrency exchanges, Nobitex, Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex, on June 2, 2026, under the Trump administration’s “Economic Fury” campaign.<\/p>\n

Together, the four platforms accounted for at least 72% of all Iranian digital asset inflows in 2025. Four Iranian nationals were also individually designated, including Nobitex’s chairman and three additional executives.<\/p>\n

What Got Sanctioned: The Full Scope<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This was not a single-exchange action. The designations, issued under Executive Orders 13224 and 13902, hit the entire upper tier of Iran’s domestic crypto infrastructure simultaneously.<\/p>\n

The Kharrazi family connection runs deep, the two co-founding brothers are members of one of the Islamic Republic’s most politically connected dynasties, with documented ties to Ayatollah Khamenei’s inner circle. Corporate records showed the brothers were initially registered under a rarely used variant of their family name.<\/p>\n
