IRGC Cryptocurrency: What It Is and Why It Doesn't Exist

There is no IRGC cryptocurrency, a supposed digital currency linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Also known as IRGC crypto, it's a fictional concept used by scammers to lure people into fake investment schemes. The IRGC is a branch of Iran’s military with no official role in blockchain or cryptocurrency development. Any website, social media post, or Telegram group claiming to sell or distribute an IRGC token is lying. These scams often use fake whitepapers, forged government logos, and pressure tactics to make you send crypto to a wallet they control.

Why does this myth keep spreading? Because people hear "Iran" and "crypto" and assume there’s a hidden state-backed coin. But Iran’s government doesn’t issue crypto. It barely allows it. In fact, Iran has cracked down on private crypto trading while promoting its own centralized digital currency, the digital rial, a state-controlled electronic version of Iran’s national currency. Meanwhile, crypto scams, fraudulent projects that mimic real technology to steal funds thrive by piggybacking on geopolitical names like IRGC, Hezbollah, or North Korea. These names sound powerful, so they trick people into thinking there’s government backing—when there’s nothing but a phishing page.

What you’ll find in the posts below are real crypto projects that actually exist—some working, some dead, some outright scams. You’ll see how tokens like XPET, ELON, and SAMO operate with transparent communities, while others like YOTSUBA and SUIA vanish without a trace. You’ll also learn how to spot the same red flags used in the IRGC scam: fake airdrops, zero development, and no exchange listings. The pattern is always the same. If it sounds too official to be true, it is. There’s no IRGC coin. There never was. And if someone tells you otherwise, they’re trying to take your money.
