PANews January 16 News, 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 exceeding that of 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 shutdowns at the end of December last year, the number of Iranians withdrawing Bitcoin from exchanges to personal wallets surged. Bitcoin is seen as the preferred safe-haven asset during the crisis. At the same time, addresses associated with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps received over 50% of the country's cryptocurrency value in Q4 2025, indicating an increased reliance on crypto channels by state-affiliated actors in a sanctioned environment.
