Crypto absolutely can still do that. There's nothing in the Bitcoin protocol itself that enforces KYC, so you can send whatever you want to whoever you want using a basic Bitcoin client. Meanwhile, good luck sending a wire from your bank account to Iran. That will flat out be prevented. But with crypto, you take all the burden/consequences of the KYC on yourself, and the algorithm itself disallows no transactions.
