🔥Toll in Crypto? Iran's controversial plan for the Strait of Hormuz 👀

Following the announced ceasefire for two weeks, #iran is taking measures to impose transit fees or taxes on oil tankers using the Strait of Hormuz, and payments in #Criptomonedas will be allowed, including to #bitcoin .

According to statements in the Financial Times by Hamid Hosseini, spokesperson for the union of oil, gas, and petrochemical exporters in Iran, the toll that Iran wants to implement will be set at around $1 per barrel of oil, making calculations a
oil tanker could pay up to $2 million for crossing the strait of #Ormuz .

Why does Iran want payments to be made in cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin? This is something that was anticipated, as Iran wants to reduce exposure to the dollar, as a measure to limit the risk of its funds being frozen due to sanctions. Moreover, since March, a sudden increase in Bitcoin transactions in Iran has already been reported.

Do you think Bitcoin should be used as a payment method in the Strait of Hormuz?
