The US Treasury/OFAC expanded its "Economic Outcast" sanctions program to explicitly cover Iran's digital asset industry. The action targets exchanges, OTC desks, payment processors, and wallet addresses tied to IRGC-linked actors as the Iranian rial hit a historic low near 202,000 IRR/USD.
Matters because: It raises compliance risk for any exchange or infrastructure provider with exposure to Iran-linked flows and shows crypto rails are now a formal sanctions battleground.
