Iran erwägt Bitcoin-Maut für Öltransit durch die Straße von Hormus

tldr; Iran is reportedly seeking a $1-per-barrel toll on oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with payments requested in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies during a two-week ceasefire with the U.S. Ships would email cargo details, then receive brief payment windows before clearance. Iran says the checks are for security, but the move tightens its control over a key oil chokepoint. Analysts warn that even with a limited reopening, supply risks and higher oil prices may persist.
