🚨America Strikes Hard: $344 Million in Crypto Assets Frozen


The U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the Treasury is imposing sanctions on multiple wallet addresses related to Iran and will continue to track all financial networks associated with that regime.
Previously, Tether assisted the government in freezing approximately $344 million worth of crypto assets across two addresses.
According to on-chain analysis by Chainalysis, the transaction patterns of these wallets are highly similar to addresses linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The investigation also found that these funds were traded through intermediary addresses connected to the Central Bank of Iran, attempting to bypass sanctions and used for international trade settlements.
Data shows that by 2025, Iran’s crypto holdings have reached approximately $7.8 billion, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps holding nearly 50% of that in the fourth quarter of last year.
This incident once again demonstrates:
Blockchain is not only a tool for fund circulation but is also becoming a new battleground for global financial regulation and geopolitical struggles.
💡Motivational Quote:
Technology itself has no stance, but those who master it often change the rules of the world.

They say it's decentralization, but how can it be frozen?
