Why XRP Has No Role at the Strait of Hormuz, While Bitcoin and Stablecoins I

Iran is collecting crypto payments from oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz — accepting Bitcoin and stablecoins at up to $2 million per vessel. But one major crypto asset is completely absent from this story. $XRP, despite being purpose-built for fast, cheap cross-border payments, has not been mentioned once.

Here is the honest reason why.

What Is Actually Happening at Hormuz Right Now

Since mid-March 2026, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been operating what is effectively a toll booth at one of the world’s most critical shipping chokepoints. The IRGC charges ship operators up to $2 million per vessel to transit the strait, accepting payment in either Chinese yuan, routed through Kunlun Bank via CIPS, Bitcoin, or possibly $USDT.

Under this system, oil tankers must email their cargo details to Iranian authorities. Iran then charges about $1 per barrel and tells the crew to pay the exact amount in Bitcoin within seconds to get permission to pass.

Iran made this rule official through the Strait of Hormuz Management Plan, approved on March 30–31, 2026. This is the first time a country has used crypto to collect fees at a major global shipping route.

The numbers are huge. The system could bring in up to $20 million per day from oil tankers alone, and as much as $600–$800 million per month if gas shipments are included

Amazon is reportedly close to finalizing a deal involving Globalstar, with Bloomberg suggesting an official announcement could come as early as Tuesday. The move has drawn renewed attention to Amazon’s long-term ambitions in satellite communications and its broader competition with Starlink.
At the same time, Goldman Sachs slightly lowered its Amazon price target from $280 to $275 while maintaining a Buy rating ahead of upcoming earnings. Despite the adjustment, Wall Street remains broadly optimistic, with a Strong Buy consensus and price targets ranging widely from $175 to $360. Amazon shares currently trade around $239.89, still below most analyst targets.
A Push to Close the Gap With Starlink
If completed, the Amazon–Globalstar deal would give Amazon a faster path into the satellite internet race. Amazon’s Project Leo currently has around 180 satellites in orbit, but it still lags significantly behind SpaceX’s Starlink network, which operates more than 10,000 satellites.
Acquiring Globalstar’s spectrum assets and ground infrastructure could allow Amazon to scale more quickly than building entirely from scratch. The deal also includes access to valuable L-band spectrum licenses across more than 120 countries, strengthening Amazon’s global communications footprint.
However, the deal is not without complications. Apple, which holds a significant stake in Globalstar following a $1.5 billion investment, may need to approve any final agreement.
From Cloud to Space: Amazon’s Expanding Ambition
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has previously highlighted the strategic importance of Project Leo, emphasizing its potential advantages in performance, cost efficiency, and integration with AWS.
He noted that the system is expected to deliver significantly improved uplink and downlink performance while reducing costs and enabling seamless data integration with Amazon’s cloud and AI infrastructure.

Sen. Tillis aims to release draft resolving Clarity Act's stablecoin yield dispute this week: report
Republican Senator Thom Tillis said he may publicly release a draft agreement to resolve the stablecoin yield debate in the upcoming Clarity Act.

Banks have been pushing back against allowing crypto firms to pay rewards on idle stablecoin balances.

U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said that he hopes to release a draft agreement this week to resolve the ongoing stablecoin yield dispute between banks and crypto firms, according to a Monday report from Politico.

Tillis has reportedly been working with Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) to develop language in the Clarity Act to end the long-standing debate on whether cryptocurrency companies should be allowed to pay interest on idle stablecoin balances.

"I think the language has come together well," Tillis told Politico on Monday, adding that the text may be publicly released later this week if discussions proceed smoothly.

The latest draft proposal from Tillis and Alsobrooks has been viewed by both banking and crypto representatives, and has drawn pushback from banks, according to the report, though the source of the criticism is unclear. Tillis reportedly indicated that he is willing to make further changes.

The debate over stablecoin rewards has become the most contentious issue in the Clarity Act, a long-sought bill to establish comprehensive rules for the digital asset sector. While the GENIUS Act, passed last year, stipulates that stablecoin issuers are banned from paying interest to holders, it does not ban third-party platforms, such as exchanges, from offering yield.

U.S. banks have argued that allowing such rewards would cause a major structural disruption, draining significant deposits away from traditional institutions.

Accordingly, the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com announced that it will distribute $1 million worth of $CRO tokens as a bonus to fighters at the UFC Freedom 250 event, which it will co-host at the White House on June 14, 2026.

This is the largest bonus amount in UFC history, and it will be distributed as part of Crypto.com’s 10th anniversary celebrations.

This event also coincides with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and the 10th anniversary of Crypto.com.

UFC CEO Dana White stated, “This is the most historic sporting event in history, and every fight has the potential to be Fight of the Night. Crypto.com is giving the fighters the biggest bonus in UFC history; a total of $1 million in prize money. The whole world will be watching tonight, June 14th.”

Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, stated, “I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Crypto.com’s 10th anniversary than by making history at the White House. We are honored to join our long-standing partners in the UFC and to be a co-presenting partner of Freedom 250, an event that transcends the sport.”

In addition to its UFC partnership, Crypto.com also collaborated with Trump Media & Technology Group to further expand its presence in the digital asset space.

Cronos ($CRO) is still trading at $0.07 at the time of writing.

The conflict in the Middle East has disrupted the normal flow of oil, leading to a squeeze in supply for cooking and transportation purposes. Countries in the subcontinent, especially India, are facing a cooking gas crisis, with LPG available in limited quantities. It has already affected the hotel industry, with some eateries charging an extra 5% to customers. On the heels of the ongoing crisis, Russia has proposed that BRICS start a joint food reserve contingency to protect itself from collateral damage stemming from the US, Iran, and Israel conflict.Russia, which is the world’s biggest wheat exporter, has proposed that BRICS take food security measures to safeguard itself from the conflict. Close to half of the world’s food is grown with fertilizers, and one-third of the global fertilizer trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz. The route has been closed for more than a month, leading to a shortage of supplies in the Asian region.The creation of food reserves can benefit BRICS and not lead to rampant price rise for the everyday essentials. The war in the Middle East has posed serious risks to the supply industry, and fertilizer shortages exist. Moreover, the proposal is a wake-up call to prevent a future calamity from the catastrophe that the US and Israel create around the world.Also Read: France Must Join BRICS & Cut All Ties With the USBRICS Could Discuss Food Reserves in the Upcoming SummitSource: ReutersThe BRICS alliance could discuss the formation of a joint food reserve in the upcoming summit in India.
