On April 19, Cointelegraph reported that Iran has designated Bitcoin for paying oil transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz. However, insiders indicate that the majority of transactions are still settled using stablecoins. According to a previous report by BlockBeats on April 8, the Financial Times stated that during a two-week ceasefire, Iran would require shipping companies to pay transit fees for oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) to maintain control over the waterway. Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for the Iranian Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters Union, stated that each oil tanker must report its cargo information to Iranian authorities via email, after which Iran will inform them of the required fee amount, which must be paid in cryptocurrency. 'Once the email is received and Iran completes its assessment, the vessel will have a few seconds to make the payment in Bitcoin, ensuring it cannot be tracked or confiscated due to sanctions.'

On April 19, The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran quickly reversed its position on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, exposing the growing rift between the country's political leadership and its military hardliners. Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian announced on Friday that the Strait of Hormuz was 'completely open.' However, this statement quickly provoked a strong backlash within Tehran. A recording obtained by the newspaper revealed that a person claiming to be a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy stated via maritime radio that the Strait remained closed and that vessels needed permission to pass. 'We will open the Strait according to our leader's orders, not by believing some childish tweets,' said one crew member, indicating that other vessels were responding to this warning. Around the same time, the Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard, criticized the Foreign Minister for announcing this policy on social media. The agency stated, 'The Foreign Ministry should reconsider this mode of communication.' Senior hardliner lawmaker Morteza Mahmoudi called for the dismissal of Amir-Abdollahian, claiming that his statement led to a drop in oil prices and handed a gift to the United States.

On April 19, The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump seems to have lost his 'spirit of adventure,' while his sense of fear grows daily. Previously, in the nearly empty West Wing of the White House, Trump learned that an American fighter jet had been shot down in Iran, and shortly after two pilots went missing, he raged at his aides for hours. He repeatedly said, 'The Europeans haven't helped at all.' According to those who have spoken with him, images from the 1979 Iran hostage crisis have been haunting him. After the American pilots were rescued, the once-arrogant president made a desperate attempt to weaken Iran's strongest leverage—its control over the Strait of Hormuz. At that time, Trump tweeted, 'Open the strait, you madmen.' This president, who has always been keen on creating dramatic scenes, applied his unorthodox and extreme style in an even more extreme manner to a potential war. He sometimes adopts a belligerent stance, while at other times he employs a conciliatory strategy, all the while pondering how far the situation might escalate. He fears ordering troops into dangerous areas, leading to injuries and some not returning home, similar to the experiences of other presidents who have faced war.

According to CoinDesk, the European Union’s financial stability watchdog has said that new regulations may be needed to cover large crypto conglomerates and smart contracts, as it warns that a growing digital asset and decentralized finance (DeFi) sector may come to pose a systemic risk to the economy.
With the new Markets in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA) set to take effect within the bloc in 2024, the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), chaired by EU central bank chief Christine Lagarde, warned in a Thursday report of the risks of crypto lending and staking, and of high leverage in digital asset markets.
Under one policy option, “DeFi developers could be required to abide by specific regulations covering the design and creation of smart contracts,” the report said. It floats the possibility of mandatory code audits, pharmaceutical-style intellectual property restrictions, and rules for the “oracles” that transmit real-world data to automated software.
