Report: Iran Charges Crypto and Yuan Tolls for Strait of Hormuz Oil Tanker Passage news.bitcoin.com
Key Takeaways: Iran's IRGC began charging ships up to $2 million per tanker to transit the Strait of Hormuz as of April 2026. The Financial Times reports Iran is accepting stablecoins and bitcoin. Iran's National Security Committee approved a bill formalizing yuan and stablecoin tolls, accelerating dollar bypass in energy trade. The ceasefire brokered by President Trump remains fragile, and Western-linked vessels are still largely excluded from approved passage.

Thats stupid.
Crypto is now owned, controlled and manipulated by the financial markets/industry.
Anywhere you can buy a derivative is an indicator of manipulation, because there is no true price discovery.
