A Wall Street Journal investigation uncovered how sanctioned Iranian businessman Babak Zanjani's network processed $850 million in crypto transactions on Binance from 2023 to late 2025, with about half estimated to fund the IRGC and proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Blockchain data and Binance reports traced $260 million directly to IRGC entities in 2024-2025, including $107 million from Iran's central bank, despite repeated compliance red flags. Binance denies the claims, stating transactions predated key U.S. sanctions and that it investigated proactively, amid its history of $4.3 billion in fines and founder Changpeng Zhao's brief prison stint before a 2025 pardon.
