Iranian crypto exchange Nobitex is gradually restoring services after a $90 million hack by pro-Israeli group Gonjeshke Darande. The attack, targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, also severely impacted civilians. Nobitex has begun allowing verified users to check balances, with full functionality expected soon.
- Gonjeshke Darande's attack drained $90M from Nobitex, including $49.3M in Tron and $24.3M on Ethereum-linked chains.
- The hack disrupted civilian access to funds despite claims of exclusively targeting Iran's IRGC, exacerbating financial strain amid 38.7% inflation.
- Nobitex serves over 7M users (7.6% of Iran's population), highlighting crypto's role in bypassing sanctions and economic instability.
