This week, our CEO Snir Levi was invited onto i24’s The Rundown for a deep-dive into how Iran and its proxy groups are using cryptocurrency to move funds despite sweeping international sanctions. Snir explained that Iran had long relied on crypto as an alternative financial system, but since October 7, Nominis has recognised a sharp rise in Iran-linked wallets being added to global sanctions lists; evidence that this activity is only increasing.
He also spoke about the Nominis crypto terror-financing database, the world’s largest in face, and how compiling intelligence on the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas and the PIJ has revealed new insights into how these networks overlap and move money across the crypto ecosystem!
The conversation touched on the lawsuit filed by families of October 7 victims, accusing Binance of enabling sanctioned Iranian wallets to move funds to Hamas. Snir noted that in a recent report examining the role of crypto in terror financing, available here, Nominis has identified wallets allegedly tied to terror financing that moved hundreds of millions of dollars through Binance, and critically, from Binance to wallets that have been formally designated by both American and Israeli authorities. If wallets were designated, they should have been blocked from receiving any funds at all, yet the flow continued.
The discussion on i24 underscores a key reality: the intersection of crypto and global security is no longer theoretical, and the role of crypto should no longer be left up for debate.
The movement of digital assets, even when small in volume, can have profound, real world consequences. At Nominis, we remain committed to providing the intelligence, transparency, and monitoring tools needed to ensure that not legitimate business exchange or financial institution unknowingly becomes a conduit for sanctioned terror groups.
