Fusion42 · 25 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

The US Treasury has expanded sanctions on Iran to include its digital asset sector, targeting crypto payments linked to Iranian oil sales and associated entities. The Office of Foreign Assets Control can now sanction individuals and firms supporting Iran's crypto sector, significantly broadening enforcement.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it between 25 Aug 2026 and 26 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a broader US crackdown as sanctions now cover all players supporting Iran’s crypto sector, not just individual platforms. Firms enabling cross-border crypto linked to restricted regimes must cut ties or risk being barred from US financial systems.
