Summary

Wallex (legal name: Khalgh Sarvat Sarzamin Parseh / Khalq Tharwat Sarzamin Parseh Company) is Iran's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by transaction volume, founded in 2018 in Tehran. On June 2, 2026, the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added Wallex to its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list under Executive Order 13902, citing its operation in the Iranian financial sector and its facilitation of transactions linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The designation was part of Operation Economic Fury, the largest-ever U.S. enforcement action targeting Iran's digital asset sector.
