Crypto exchange Binance has processed $8 billion worth of Iranian transactions since 2018, despite U.S. sanctions aimed at severing Iran from the global financial system, according to Reuters. According to Chainalysis data, almost all of the money, about $7.8 billion, was flowing between Binance and Nobitex, Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Nobitex provides guidance on how to circumvent sanctions on its website. Three-quarters of Iranian funds passing through Binance are Tron (should be the Tron blockchain network), and Nobitex encourages customers to use Tron for anonymous transactions without “compromising assets due to sanctions.” The U.S. Justice Department’s investigation into Binance comes as Binance says it is not a U.S. company but has taken aggressive steps to limit its exposure to the Iranian market.
Data reviewed by Reuters shows that since 2018, a total of about $2.95 billion in cryptocurrencies has been moved directly between Iranian exchanges and Binance. Another $5 billion in cryptocurrency was moved between the Iranian exchange and Binance through an intermediary layer.
According to Chainalysis data, Nobitex users started moving Bitcoin through Binance in April 2018. From August 2020, Tron trading volume between Nobitex and Binance surged. Data shows that as recently as October of this year, $20 million in Tron flowed directly between Binance and Nobitex.
