US sanctions Iran's BitBank for processing more than $3 billion in cryptocurrency payments through

伊朗因制裁加剧加速加密货币应用,美国财政部对BitBank实施制裁

面对持续的国际制裁和全球金融体系准入受限,伊朗正不断增加对加密货币的使用。据媒体报道,今年春季,伊朗官员曾考虑向通过霍尔木兹海峡的船只征收每桶约1美元的通行费,并可能接受比特币支付。这一动向凸显了德黑兰在地缘政治紧张局势和经济约束日益加剧的背景下,寻求替代收入来源的努力。

美国财政部以船舶关联比特币交易为由制裁BitBank

9月17日,美国财政部对伊朗加密交易所BitBank实施了制裁。美方指控BitBank处理了数亿美元的比特币交易,这些交易与试图穿越霍尔木兹海峡的船只有关。当局还指控BitBank协助伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)进行资金转移,而该组织被美国政府列为恐怖组织。

此前,美国财政部已警告称,使用加密货币、现金或其他支付形式换取霍尔木兹海峡的安全通行权可能违反美国制裁规定。随着此次最新行动的实施,关注点已从支付提议扩展到针对处理此类交易的实体的制裁执法。美国财政部的举动表明,处理伊朗国家相关交易(包括与海事活动相关的交易)的加密交易所可能面临直接处罚。

银行限制下加密货币生态系统扩张

Years of economic isolation have contributed to the growth of Iran's domestic crypto market. Blockchain analytics company Chainalysis estimates that Iran's crypto ecosystem will reach approximately US$7.8 billion in 2025. Activities related to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reportedly accounted for nearly half of all transactions in the fourth quarter.

Chainalysis also found that in 2025 alone, digital wallets associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps received more than $3 billion in funding. However, this estimate only covers wallets that the researchers have identified. Iran's state-connected networks and businesses are increasingly turning to digital assets to reach out to the global economy and circumvent the restrictions of traditional banks. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, Iran's largest crypto exchange Nobitex handled more than half of the country's digital asset inflows in 2025.

Small Dictionary: Chainalysis is a blockchain analytics company that provides governments, regulators and crypto companies with data and compliance tools to track and investigate blockchain transactions around the world.

Sanctions expand to broader crypto infrastructure

The U.S. government has extended its sanctions from exchanges to companies that support Iran's crypto industry. The Ministry of Finance has sanctioned Pishtaz Simorgh Electronic Trading Company, a software development company that built technology for BitBank. The move highlights the broad impact of sanctions, as the crypto business relies on external providers to provide software, liquidity, payment integration and custody solutions.

根据美国外国资产控制办公室(OFAC)之前的指导方针,如果发现非美国公司支持伊朗的加密运营,它们也可能面临惩罚。因此,一些技术提供商可能会重新考虑与伊朗合作伙伴的工作关系,以避免失去进入美国市场的机会。美国制裁范围的扩大可能会阻碍国际公司向受制裁的伊朗加密企业提供技术或金融服务,从而增加整个行业的合规风险。

市场影响与资产偏好

不断变化的合规环境可能导致伊朗的加密市场更加孤立,因为获取外国服务变得更加困难。这种碎片化可能会迫使伊朗企业转向更小、监管较少的服务提供商。

在伊朗的大额交易中,比特币并非总是首选资产。Chainalysis报告称,与伊朗国家实体相关的机构往往依赖稳定币,因为它们提供了与美国美元挂钩的价格稳定性,而无需直接访问美国银行。相比之下,比特币的波动性使其在商业结算中的使用变得复杂,尽管由于其去中心化性质,它更难被冻结。

资产 在伊朗的使用情况 主要优势 比特币 (Bitcoin) 中等 难以冻结,去中心化 稳定币 (Stablecoins) 高(与国家关联) Prices are stable and pegged to the US dollar

In these developments, digital assets continue to serve as an alternative payment channel for Iranians affected by sanctions. This trend continues even though market fluctuations and international policy changes affect domestic cryptocurrency demand and operations.
