According to The Financial Times, Iran plans to charge transit fees for fully loaded oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz during a two-week ceasefire with the United States, with fees denominated in cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, approximately $1 per barrel; under the scheme, oil tankers must submit cargo information to Iran via email, and after evaluation, complete payment in digital assets such as Bitcoin according to guidelines. Empty tankers will be exempt from fees. Hamid Hosseini, spokesperson for the Iran Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Products Exporters' Union, stated that this move aims to monitor traffic in and out of the strait and ensure that the ceasefire period is not used for weapons transfers.
