IRANIAN CRYPTO OUTFLOWS JUST SPIKED 700% -- AND THE SIGNAL IS BIGGER THAN MOST THINK



Elliptic reports outflows from Iran’s largest exchange, Nobitex, jumped roughly 700% within minutes of the US-Israeli strikes. Funds were traced moving toward overseas exchanges -- classic capital flight behavior.

Now zoom out.

Nobitex isn’t small. It processed about $7.2B in crypto volume in 2025 and serves 11M+ users. Inside a sanctioned economy, that’s meaningful financial plumbing.

Users can move rials into crypto and send funds externally, bypassing traditional banking rails entirely.

This is what real-time capital reallocation looks like under geopolitical stress.

When risk rises, liquidity doesn’t ask for permission. It goes on-chain. 👀
