Geopolitical Turmoil Cripples Iranian Cryptocurrency Market, Sending Inflows Down 76%

Iran’s cryptocurrency market has experienced a dramatic downturn in 2025. A combination of geopolitical instability, cyberattacks, and tightening regulations has resulted in significant capital outflows from the country. According to blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs, total cryptocurrency inflows into Iran between January and July 2025 have dropped by 11% compared to the same period last year. This decline was particularly pronounced after April, with inflows plunging over 50% year-over-year in June and a staggering 76% drop in July.
