Nobitex

Nobitexis an Iranian cryptocurrency exchange that enables users to trade digital assets, including tokens on the Tron and EVM‑compatible blockchains. The platform operates from its headquarters in Iran and provides both hot wallet facilities for active trading and cold storage solutions for long‑term holding. By offering these services, Nobitex contributes to market liquidity and price discovery for the assets it lists. It serves a user base seeking to buy, sell, and manage cryptocurrencies within the Iranian market.

In June 2025 the exchange experienced a security breach in which approximately $81.7 million was drained from its hot wallets across Tron and EVM‑compatible chains. The incident was attributed to unauthorized access resulting from critical access control failures, as identified by security analysts. Despite the loss, Nobitex confirmed that its cold storage assets remained secure and pledged to fully compensate affected users.

The exchange responded by suspending the compromised hot wallets and monitoring the movement of the stolen funds, which remained unmoved after the attack. Analysts noted that the observed drop in labeled wallet holdings was consistent with routine migrations rather than additional losses. The breach was publicly claimed by the pro‑Israeli hacker group Gonjeshke Darande, who framed the act as a political statement against the Iranian regime. This event highlighted Nobitex’s exposure to geopolitical risk and underscored the importance of robust access management in custodial services.
