This news is very explosive:

Iran is collecting tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, and it also specifies that Bitcoin must be used for payment

For each barrel of crude oil, the fee is 1 US dollar worth of BTC, and empty ships can pass for free. The process is: the ship reports the cargo → Iran makes a quote → the BTC payment must be completed within a few seconds

The reason is very simple: against the backdrop of international sanctions, traditional US dollar payments would be frozen, and only something decentralized like Bitcoin is something Iran can truly receive money with

So what’s interesting about this?

Iran is subject to US sanctions, and dollar settlement won’t work—so now it uses Bitcoin to bypass sanctions, which means Bitcoin has gained a real payment function at the edge of the international arena

For BTC, this is good news—not “speculation,” but the fact that a country is actually using it

This happens during the ceasefire period; if the talks later break down, Iran will only become more dependent on cryptocurrency settlement

Dachao believes that BTC’s downside room is limited in this round. As this kind of news gradually accumulates, by the time major geopolitical events happen, BTC will be a safe-haven asset $BTC $ETH
