The United States freezes $344 million worth of cryptocurrency linked to Iran.

According to reports, the US government is intensifying pressure on Iran, with the Trump administration freezing a batch of $344 million worth of cryptocurrency assets believed to be linked to Iran. Currently, diplomatic negotiations aimed at achieving a ceasefire agreement have stalled, with the global economy continuing to be impacted by the situation. During this fragile ceasefire period, the US is continuing to increase economic pressure on Iran. It is not yet clear whether this large asset seizure will change Iran's position or affect its decisions in the conflict situation and negotiations. US Treasury Secretary Scott Besent stated on Friday that the Treasury Department is imposing sanctions on multiple cryptocurrency wallets associated with Iran.
