[Report: Iran's Cryptocurrency Ecosystem to Reach Approximately $7.78 Billion by 2025] According to Decrypt, the latest report from Chainalysis indicates that Iran's cryptocurrency ecosystem will grow to approximately $7.78 billion by 2025, with a growth rate surpassing the previous year. Domestic protests and currency devaluation are identified as the main driving factors. The report highlights that during the large-scale protests and internet shutdowns at the end of December last year, the number of Bitcoin withdrawals from exchanges to personal wallets by Iranian citizens surged, with Bitcoin being regarded as the preferred safe-haven asset during crises. Additionally, addresses associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran received over 50% of the country's cryptocurrency value in the fourth quarter of 2025, demonstrating an increased reliance on crypto channels by state-affiliated actors under a sanctions-constrained environment.
