The United States has expanded its sanctions campaign against Iran, with the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) formally designating Iran’s digital asset sector as sanctionable under Executive Order 13902 and targeting more than 60 entities and individuals across crypto, technology and shipping. The action formalizes enforcement against Tehran’s alleged use of Bitcoin and Tether to evade sanctions. Chainalysis estimates Iran’s crypto ecosystem exceeded $7.8 billion last year, while roughly $1 billion in Iran-linked crypto has been frozen or sanctioned since April. The White House Press Secretary called the campaign the "greatest economic isolation operation in history." Prediction-market pricing indicates growing skepticism about a U.S.-Iran agreement involving reconstruction funding in 2026, as observers monitor diplomacy, asset releases and regional military activity.
