Gate News message, April 9, Chainalysis data shows that Iran’s regime (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC) has increasingly used cryptocurrency in recent years to facilitate cross-border commercial trade, especially in oil sales. In December 2024, a sanctioned IRGC member associated with the Houthis helped arrange Iran’s sale of oil to Yemen through a cryptocurrency address, and the total value of the related transactions exceeded $178 million within a year. By April 2025, a broader network of Houthis financiers began using cryptocurrency to procure weapons and goods from Russia; the transaction scale of cryptocurrency addresses tied to sanctions has nearly reached $1 billion, and nearly all of the above activities occurred within a single year.
