美国财政部:本周将没收与伊朗相关的10亿美元加密资产

美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特(Scott Bessent)透露,美国正准备于本周没收价值约10亿美元的加密货币资产。此举是美国持续执行对伊朗制裁行动的一部分,旨在打击伊朗的金融网络。

针对伊朗金融网络的严厉打击

贝森特在周四举行的新闻政治峰会(Newsmax NPolicy Summit)上发表了上述声明,确认此次计划中的资产没收是更广泛战略的一部分,该战略旨在限制伊朗获取国际金融资源的渠道。这一举动紧随伊朗自2月以来采取的最新军事行动之后,引发了国际社会更高的关注度。

尽管贝森特未明确指出这些资产是否与特定的加密货币交易所有关,或是否源于稳定币发行商的操作,但他强调,此举的核心目标是使伊朗在经济上陷入孤立。在与记者格雷塔·范苏斯特伦(Greta Van Susteren)的讨论中,他明确表示:“我们知道它们在哪里,并且正在对其进行隔离。”

该策略的重点在于破坏支持伊朗政权的金融渠道,无论交易使用的是美元、伊朗里亚尔还是数字资产。

外国资产控制办公室(OFAC)的作用及既往没收案例

The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) plays a central role in targeting entities suspected of assisting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in cryptocurrency transfers. OFAC, which manages and implements U.S. economic sanctions programs, announced new designations in August this year for several cryptocurrency exchanges accused of assisting Iran in illegal financing.

Bessent said Washington intends to increase pressure on Tehran by further disrupting networks that transfer funds to the Iranian government, reflecting the U.S.'s continued focus on cryptocurrencies as a channel to circumvent sanctions.

In an interview in April this year, the Treasury Secretary said that U.S. authorities had previously confiscated $500 million in digital assets allegedly linked to Iran.

Noun explanation:

OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control): A department of the U.S. Treasury Department responsible for administering and enforcing economic and trade sanctions in accordance with U.S. foreign policy and national security goals.

stablecoins are also closely monitored

stablecoin issuer Tether has also taken actions that comply with sanctions requirements. According to reports, in 2026, Tether froze USDT (TEDA) worth US$550 million related to Iran. According to Tether,$344 million in frozen assets were blocked in April this year alone, which was accomplished through efforts led by the U.S. authorities.

U.S. authorities have been focusing on using a combination of traditional and digital currencies to undermine the financial networks that support the Iranian regime.

此次针对与伊朗相关的加密货币的打击行动,凸显了华盛顿意图加强对涉嫌促进受制裁活动的数字资产的管控力度。
