On the 18th of June 2025, Nobitex, which is Iran’s leading crypto exchange, had a cyber attack which saw over $90 million in digital assets destroyed. The funds didn’t leave the system for profit, they were sent to what are known as dead end wallets and made use of forever.

A report revealed that Predatory Sparrow, a group associated with Israel, carried out the attack on the Nobitex crypto exchange. The attack which they carried out hit Iran’s digital infrastructure as tension in the region is at an all-time high.

Nobitex Crypto Exchange Targeted With Precision

Security experts reported that in the case of Nobitex’s internal controls it was a failure. Wallet addresses which read as anti–Iran messages like “NoBiTEXy2r7mNX”. These were not your average hacks; they were statements. During the attack, final damage reached: $90 million.

All stolen funds went into accounts which did not have private keys  which in turn made the crypto forever off the grid. It was a digital firebomb.

Nobitex Crypto Exchange Charged With Sanctions Evasion

The attackers said that Nobitex was at the core of Iran’s strategy which was to avoid sanctions and fund groups like Hamas and the IRGC. In 2024 U.S. senators and watchdogs like Chainalysis reported to have made the same warnings regarding the Nobitex crypto exchange.

At the time of the hack, Iran introduced a legal framework for crypto, supervised by the Central Bank, and appeared to send a clear geopolitical message that included the Israeli strikes.

Inside Iran what many consider to be military service is what they have for Nobitex  that proves its importance. That made it a target.

Iran Responds With Tighter Crypto Controls

Nobitex reported that users’ funds were in cold storage and they would fully compensate for any issues. But trust in Nobitex crypto exchange went down. Iran’s Central Bank got involved right away, shortening exchange hours and banning Tether trades for the night.
