🚨 Crypto Geopolitics Alert: Iran’s Nobitex Exchange Hit for $90M+

📌 What’s happening:

Iran’s largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, was targeted by hacktivist group Predatory Sparrow (Gonjeshke Darande), allegedly linked to Israel. Over $90 million in crypto—including BTC, ETH & DOGE—was moved to “burn” addresses with anti‑IRGC messages, effectively destroying the assets .

🌐 Why it matters:

This wasn’t a smash‑and‑grab—hackers intentionally burned coins to send a political message .

The attack coincided with statewide internet blackouts in Iran during the cyber‑offensive .

Elliptic and Chainalysis confirmed the hack’s geopolitical intent, not financial gain .
