An estimated 60% of Iranian crypto trading volume ran through foreign platforms in 2024-25

Data for 2024-25 indicates Iranian users traded an estimated $40.5 to $55.5 billion on foreign crypto platforms, against an estimated $27 to $37 billion on domestic platforms, putting roughly 60% of volume offshore. The source attributes the gap to foreign platforms' wider access to futures, trading leverage and professional trading tools, which has drawn a significant share of active Iranian traders offshore. Both ranges are the report's own estimates, not measured totals.
