Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 8th, according to The Financial Times, during the two-week ceasefire, Iran plans to impose cryptocurrency-denominated tolls on oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz to maintain practical control over the waterway.



Hamid Hosseini, spokesperson for the Iran Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Products Exporters Union, stated that each oil tanker must declare cargo information to Iranian authorities via email in advance, and Iran will then notify the applicable toll amount. The fee is set at $1 per barrel of oil, with empty tankers allowed to pass for free. Payments must be made in Bitcoin to avoid asset tracking and freezing risks associated with sanctions. It is reported that ships will have only a few seconds to complete the payment after receiving Iran's assessment results.
