      tldr; Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has allegedly used cryptocurrency, particularly USDT on the TRON network, to evade Western sanctions since 2023. A report by TRM Labs revealed that the Guard funneled approximately $1 billion through UK-based crypto exchanges Zedcex and Zedxion, with Guard-linked activity comprising over half of the exchanges‘ volume. Investigators traced funds through sanctioned wallet addresses, offshore intermediaries, and Iranian crypto firms, highlighting the use of crypto as a financial channel for Iran’s shadow banking system.

      Crazy how this keeps popping up, right? I was reading about it last night and it feels like the same old cat and mouse with sanctions. Using USDT or whatever stablecoin to settle stuff outside the usual Swift rails makes sense if you’re trying to dodge AML flags, but it always ends up being traceable once someone actually looks at the chain properly. Funny thing is I’ve been keeping a stupidly detailed log of weird flows I see just out of curiosity, and sometimes the patterns tell you more than the headlines.

      Makes you wonder whether the bigger story is not that they’re using crypto, but that traditional compliance teams are still so bad at spotting the obvious.
