Iran’s reported Bitcoin tolls at Hormuz point to a new use case for crypto, sanctions-resistant trade infrastructure
Iran is reportedly planning to charge oil tankers a Bitcoin-denominated toll for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The move would be significant as it extends beyond price action, ideology, or adoption rhetoric.

The development places Bitcoin inside a coercive trade corridor, where settlement speed, sanctions exposure, maritime access, and state leverage converge in one of the world’s most strategically sensitive waterways.

According to the Financial Times, Hamid Hosseini, spokesperson for Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union, said Iran would require tankers to email authorities with cargo details, receive an assessed tariff, and then pay in Bitcoin before being allowed to pass.

Hosseini reportedly said,

“Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in bitcoin, ensuring they can’t be traced or confiscated due to sanctions.”

The reported tariff is $1 per barrel, while empty tankers would pass freely. The same report says ships in the Gulf received an English-language radio warning that vessels attempting transit without Iranian approval would be destroyed.

Iran’s apparent objective is clear enough. It wants to convert control over a physical chokepoint into a settlement regime that sits outside the ordinary reach of dollar clearing and sanctions enforcement.

In a positive development for the crypto industry, a recent study by White House economists affirmed that stablecoin yield won’t harm community banks, and its prohibition won’t have a meaningful impact on overall lending in the banking system.

Stablecoin Yield Is Not A Threat

On Wednesday, the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) released the highly anticipated study on a key issue that has become a major point of contention between the banking and crypto industries over the past few months: stablecoin yield and its potential impact on deposit flight and bank lending.

For context, the landmark crypto legislation, the GENIUS Act, requires issuers to maintain reserves backing outstanding stablecoins on a one-to-one basis and to hold these reserves in certain assets, including US dollars, Federal Reserve notes, and short-term US Treasuries.

The bill also introduced key restrictions that prohibit issuers from offering any form of interest or yield to stablecoin holders. The banking industry has urged US lawmakers to extend the prohibition to digital asset exchanges, brokers, dealers, and related entities, which has led to prolonged debate and delay of the crypto market structure bill, also known as the CLARITY Act.

While some analysts estimate that the effect of lending in the trillions of dollars, the CEA report found that eliminating stablecoin yield would only boost bank lending by $2.1 billion, equivalent to a 0.02% increase.

Large banks would conduct 76% of this additional lending, while community banks—which have assets below $10 billion—would lend the remaining 24%. In our baseline, that adds up to $500 million in additional lending from community banks, meaning their lending rising by 0.026%.

As they noted, even under the worst-case assumptions, the CEA’s model produc

Pi Network is entering a crucial phase this month, with around 239 million Pi tokens set to unlock over the next 30 days. That’s a big chunk of new supply suddenly becoming tradable. 

And with demand still not strong enough to absorb this supply easily, Pi might struggle to move higher in the short term, even though prices are trying to stabilize.

April 9–19 Unlocks: Supply Surge Peaks Mid-Month
Between April 9 and April 19, a significant amount of Pi is set to be unlocked as per Piscan. The largest spikes come mid-cycle, with around 18.28 million Pi unlocking on April 9.

Zcash Crypto Becomes Top Weekly Gainer With Record 2026 Spot Inflows




 

Key Insights:

Zcash crypto pulls off impressive 35% weekly upside, rising in the ranks of top-performing coins.

Assessing retracement risk after oversold conditions amid recent focus on short-term profit taking.

ZEC had the highest daily YTD spot inflows on Tuesday.

Altcoins are experiencing a mid-week relief rally, and Zcash crypto secured the top gainer spot. The privacy coin outperformed more popular coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as the Iran-US tensions eased, giving the markets some breathing room.

Among the top 50 coins by market cap, Zcash crypto capitalized the most on the incoming liquidity. ZEC price was up over 40% from its lowest level in the last 7 days.

Zcash crypto hit a $340 midweek peak before retreating slightly to its $332 press time price. The privacy coin also retested the upper range of its 2-month consolidation range.

The upper-range retest raises a critical question. Will the privacy coin maintain its uptrend and break out of the consolidation zone, or will it retreat and give in to profit-taking?

Достиг ли биткоин дна? Горячие комментарии известного эксперта: «Он никогда в истории не опускался ниже этого уровня»

В условиях сохраняющейся неопределенности на криптовалютных рынках ведущие деятели сектора обсуждают будущее биткоина и влияние глобальных геополитических событий. Заявления известного аналитика Тома Ли о том, что «дно достигнуто», вызвали новую волну энтузиазма среди инвесторов.

Стратег Марк Юско описал текущее состояние рынка как «процесс восходящего движения». Криптовалютный рынок обычно остается в стагнации в течение летних месяцев. Юско прогнозирует, что настоящий ажиотаж и активность начнутся этой осенью, с «крипто-весной».

Юско заявил, что уровень в 63 000 долларов является важной поддержкой для биткоина и что движения ниже этого уровня не подорвут доверие инвесторов.

Юско отметил, что цена биткоина никогда не опускалась ниже стоимости электроэнергии, утверждая, что текущие затраты на электроэнергию составляют около 57 000–58 000 долларов, что является естественным нижним пределом для цены.

Рыночные данные выявляют интересный парадокс. Юско отметил, что институциональные инвесторы продолжают накапливать биткоины, не реагируя на колебания цен, в то время как частные инвесторы паникуют и продают. Действия Morgan Stanley в отношении биткоин-ETF были восприняты как один из самых последних и мощных сигналов о притоке институционального капитала на рынок.

Связанные новости: Основатель Telegram Павел Дуров объявил о крупном обновлении Toncoin (TON), которое выйдет завтра.

Еще одна новость — слух о том, что Иран может потребовать оплату в криптовалюте за 1 доллар за баррель нефти, проходящей через Ормузский пролив.

Юско заявил, что страны, находящиеся под санкциями, рассматривают биткоин и стейблкоины как путь к освобождению от долларовой системы, которую он назвал примером «макроэкономической изобретательности».
