Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is increasingly using stablecoins over Bitcoin as a key tool for funding and trade settlements, BeInCrypto reported, citing a new analysis from Chainalysis. Wallets associated with the IRGC received over $3 billion in assets in 2025 alone, a figure that represents approximately 50% of Iran's total virtual asset trading volume as of the fourth quarter of 2025. Chainalysis estimated that the $3 billion figure is a minimum based on public data and that the actual amount is likely much larger.
