[Amid Ongoing Protests and Rial Plunge in Iran, Citizens Are Withdrawing Bitcoin to Personal Wallets] According to a report by Jinse Finance, as the Iranian government tightens control over recent street protests, local citizens have started to directly safeguard their Bitcoin, highlighting the decentralized and censorship-resistant nature of cryptocurrencies. Since December 28, street demonstrations have erupted in multiple Iranian cities, targeting the Islamic Republic government and the deepening economic crisis characterized by high inflation and currency collapse. From the start of the protests to January 8, during Iran's internet shutdown, blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis observed a significant increase in on-chain transactions withdrawing Bitcoin from Iranian exchanges to unknown personal wallets. In a report released on Thursday, Chainalysis stated: 'Most notably, there has been a surge in Bitcoin withdrawals from Iranian exchanges to untraceable personal wallets. This surge indicates that during the protests, Iranians have been acquiring and taking control of Bitcoin at a significantly faster rate than before.'
