Arkham releases on-chain map of suspected Iranian central bank crypto wallets

Blockchain analytics firm Arkham has released an on-chain tracking map of cryptocurrency wallets believed to be owned by the Central Bank of Iran, Cointelegraph reported. The map is based on two Tron (TRX) TRC-20 addresses that the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added to its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list on April 24. It is designed to help law enforcement and the public track connected addresses and fund flows. At the time, U.S. authorities announced they had frozen over $344 million in USDT with Tether's cooperation. Meanwhile, Iran's total cryptocurrency trading volume is estimated at around $11.4 billion for 2024 and approximately $10 billion for 2025.
