Bitpin
Summary
Bitpin (legal name: Nooyan Bitpin, also known as Sana Ayman Mubadala) is an Iranian cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2020 and headquartered in the Anzali Free Zone, Gilan, Iran. On June 2, 2026, the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Bitpin on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list under Executive Orders 13224 and 13902, citing IRGC-linked transactions, sanctions evasion, and investors with alleged ties to circumventing U.S. restrictions. Bitpin accounted for approximately 10% of Iranian digital asset inflows in 2025 and processed an estimated USD 821 million in volume that year, making it Iran's third-largest exchange by that metric among the four simultaneously designated platforms.
