A new report from the Financial Times says that the Iranian officials would require bitcoin and crypto payments for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Iran\u2019s Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Products Exporters\u2019 Union, Hamid Hoisseini, noted<\/a> that the toll must be paid in crypto after tankers submit details of their cargo. The payments are $1 per barrel, but empty vessels are exempt.<\/p>\n

All ships will be monitored to prevent weapons smuggling during the two-week ceasefire, which was announced earlier this morning by US President Donald Trump after making serious threats to \u201cdestroy a civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin was already impacted<\/a> by the cease-fire deal, surging from $68,000 to a multi-week peak of around $72,000. It retraced slightly to around $71,400 before the report went live, but shipped once again to a new three-week high of almost $73,000 minutes ago.<\/p>\n

After both sides announced the cease-fire, Trump said any country supplying military weapons to Iran will face a hefty 50% tariff.<\/p>\n

In addition, the POTUS insisted<\/a> that Iran will have \u201cno enrichment of uranium.\u201d The US will also assist Iran to \u201cdig up and remove\u201d all nuclear dust.<\/p>\n
