Nobitex and Binance

The Reuters news agency published a report claiming that the leading crypto exchange Binance had processed $7.8 billion worth of transactions from Iranian firms since 2018, despite US financial sanctions.[6] Reuters' claims in its report highlight two main issues: financial transferred between Nobitex and Binance, and Nobitex's role in evading U.S. sanctions against Iran.

Nobitex refuted the claims, claiming that the format in which the statistics were presented was "misleading". Regarding the second claim that they played a role in evading sanctions, Nobitex defended its stance, announced that these claims are related to the activity of users within the Nobitex platform.[7]
