Report: Iran's cryptocurrency ecosystem to reach approximately $7.78 billions in 2025
PANews, January 16—According to Decrypt, the latest report from Chainalysis shows that the scale of Iran's cryptocurrency ecosystem will grow to approximately $7.78 billion in 2025, with a growth rate surpassing the previous year. Domestic protests and currency devaluation are the main driving factors. The report points out that during the large-scale protests and internet shutdown at the end of December last year, the number of bitcoin withdrawals from exchanges to personal wallets by Iranians surged, with bitcoin being regarded as the preferred safe-haven asset in times of crisis. At the same time, addresses associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps received more than 50% of the country's cryptocurrency value in the fourth quarter of 2025, indicating an increased reliance on crypto channels by state-backed actors in a sanctioned environment.
