Iran to Collect Bitcoin Fees from Oil Tankers During Ceasefire

Published by

Iran is proposing a plan to charge about $1 per barrel in cryptocurrency or other digital assets like stablecoins and yuan for oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz during a two‑week ceasefire deal with the United States, according to reports. Fully loaded tankers must submit cargo and vessel details before payment, while empty ships may be exempt. Officials say the measure is intended to allow Iran to monitor ship movements and prevent weapons transfers, marking an unusual use of crypto in global oil transit.
