US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, in an interview with Iran International Correspondent Kambiz Tawana, said on Monday that the Islamic Republic's use of cryptocurrencies to transfer money is both escape and desperation, and the US Treasury Department is tracking and blocking this money. According to him, the money "belongs to the people of Iran, not to the corrupt regime" and the Ministry of Finance monitors the money "whether it is cryptocurrency or expensive apartments" and keeps it in a trust account.
