Crypto exchange news shows that Iran’s largest platform, Nobitex, avoided major user runs following US-Israel strikes. On-chain data from TRM Labs and Chainalysis reveals a short-term spike in activity, but $35 million in hot-to-cold transfers were likely internal movements, not panic withdrawals. Iranian exchanges experienced increased outflows, but no sustained bank runs were observed.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that, according to independent analyses by TRM Labs and Chainalysis, Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex, did not experience a sustained, user-driven run following the U.S.-Israel strike on Iran. Although on-chain data showed a brief surge in activity and increased fund outflows across Iranian exchanges more broadly.

The report reviewed Nobitex’s on-chain activity since the U.S.-Israel strikes against Iran on February 28. The findings showed a noticeable increase in platform activity shortly after the strikes, including transactions transferring over $35 million from hot wallets to cold wallets. However, TRM noted that these transfers were likely internal fund management operations by the exchange, rather than user panic withdrawals. (Cointelegraph)
