The regulatory action follows investigative reporting that highlighted the exchange's role in moving funds linked to the sanctioned military organization.
This move underscores ongoing efforts by U.S. authorities to curb the use of digital assets in circumventing international financial restrictions. By targeting the exchange, officials aim to disrupt the financial networks supporting the IRGC, reflecting broader concerns regarding the intersection of cryptocurrency markets and state-sponsored illicit financing.
