BlockBeats News, May 18th - Financial analyst Abdelaziz Fathi stated that Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex, has processed approximately $2.3 billion in funds through Tron and BNB Chain since 2023, with the majority of the flow occurring in stablecoin and cross-chain transfer scenarios.

The report indicated that the traffic on the Tron network alone has exceeded $2 billion, while BNB Chain accounts for around $317 million, with small-scale transfers continuing even against the backdrop of recent conflicts. Some of these fund flows involve sanctioned entities, raising concerns about the potential role of public chains in cross-border payments and sanction evasion.

The analysis also mentioned that the ecosystem behind the relevant infrastructure is indirectly linked to multiple cryptocurrency firms, making it part of a politically sensitive issue. Although both Tron and BNB Chain emphasize their positioning as "decentralized or infrastructure networks" that do not directly control transactions, on-chain transparency exposes them to passive compliance and reputational risks.

This event further underscores the market's discussion on the tension between "public chain neutrality" and "real-world compliance boundaries," especially as stablecoins and public ledgers have become a core pathway for cross-border value transfer.
