Why Iran Wants to Use Bitcoin for Safe Passage through the Strait of Hormuz
Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime transit point for oil. Last week, the Financial Times reported that Iran intends to charge a toll for passage, and Bitcoin was named the preferred currency. This unexpected turn of events has been predicted by Bitcoin enthusiasts for over a decade.

On April 8, the Financial Times published an article titled "Iran Demands Cryptocurrency Fees for Ships Passing Through Strait of Hormuz During Ceasefire," but the article was not about cryptocurrency, but about Bitcoin. The article covered developments during the current two-week ceasefire in the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, specifically regarding the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil tankers passed before the war, supplying Europe, Asia, and much of the world.  The article claimed that Iran intended to charge a toll for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a key geographic chokepoint controlled by Iran using long-range missiles, underwater mines, and attack drones.
The report included an interview with Hamid Hosseini, a representative of the Iranian Union of Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Exporters, who told the Financial Times that oil vessels must provide Iran with reserve data and pay $1 per barrel of oil in Bitcoin to gain safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz: "Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, the vessels are given a few seconds to pay in Bitcoin, ensuring they cannot be tracked or confiscated due to sanctions."

The report shocked the Bitcoin community and made international news, as the price of Bitcoin rose from $60,000 to $73,000.  Iran's decision to demand Bitcoin for safe passage instead of dollars, yuan, or gold is a profound recognition of Bitcoin's superiority as money in the mod

A new national poll from Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that nearly two-thirds of Israelis oppose the Iran ceasefire brokered by Pakistan between the United States and Iran. The survey, the first conducted after the truce was announced, shows the Israeli public is sharply divided on whether their government should honor the agreement or resume military strikes against Iran. Of those surveyed, 39 percent believe Israel should press forward with attacks on Iran, while 41 percent support respecting the ceasefire. Another 19 percent remain undecided. The poll sampled 1,312 Israeli adults between April 9 and 10, carrying a margin of error of 3.2 percent. The ceasefire has paused U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, but fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon continues unabated. Israeli forces have maintained heavy bombardment in Lebanon, resulting in significant civilian casualties, while Hezbollah has kept firing rockets into northern Israeli towns. Weekend negotiations in Islamabad failed to produce a wider agreement to end the broader conflict. On the Lebanon front, over 61 percent of Israelis believe the ceasefire should not be extended to cover the war with Hezbollah a position that directly conflicts with one of Iran's central demands in ongoing diplomatic talks with Washington.

SEC reverses course on crypto enforcement and disowns its own playbook

The same agency that pointed to crypto enforcement as proof of its toughness in late 2024 is now holding up those cases as evidence of institutional overreach.

The SEC is now publicly distancing itself from the crypto enforcement strategy it once showcased as proof of its toughness. In its latest annual review, the agency casts several recently dismissed crypto cases as evidence that prior leadership chased volume and headlines over measurable investor harm.

In November 2024, the SEC celebrated 583 enforcement actions and a record $8.2 billion in remedies, saying crypto was proof it could keep pace with emerging threats. This week, the same agency published a 2025 review calling that approach a mistake.

The new report said prior resources were misapplied, criticized the pursuit of “media headlines,” and described the past year as a “necessary course correction” that included dismissing seven crypto registration-related cases.

While this is a clear sign that the SEC is easing up on crypto, the report also carries a silent admission. We see now that it's publicly disowning the enforcement strategy it was bragging about just over a year ago.
The fiscal 2024 review was triumphant by design.

The SEC reported 583 total enforcement actions and said the $8.2 billion in monetary remedies it gathered that year was the highest in the agency's history. It said its enforcement division was keeping pace with emerging threats and listed crypto prominently among them. The Terraform Labs and Do Kwon case, which alone accounted for roughly 56% of the year's total remedies, was treated as a signature achievement and as proof that the SEC could take on complex, high-profile defendants and win.

None of that language was even slightly subdued.

As gold is the latest obsession of the central banks across the world, the US dollar continues to take the heat of it all, with its market share tumbling rapidly.“The US dollar continues to lose market share. The US dollar now represents ~46% of global FX and gold reserves, the lowest in at least 26 years. This percentage has declined -15 points since 2017. Excluding gold, the US dollar makes up 57% of global reserve currencies, the lowest since 1994, according to IMF data. This comes as central banks have aggressively accumulated gold and diversified into other currencies. The last time the US dollar fell below 50% of global reserves was in 1990-1991, a period marked by elevated inflation, a recession, and a crisis of confidence in the US economy.”The US Dollar continues to lose market share:The US Dollar now represents ~46% of global FX and gold reserves, the lowest in at least 26 years.This percentage has declined -15 points since 2017.Excluding gold, the US Dollar makes up 57% of global reserve currencies, the… pic.twitter.com/FlOTFHaoft— The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) April 11

There was a point where I almost gave up on trading because it felt too complicated and unpredictable. I didn’t understand why some decisions worked and others didn’t, and that made it hard to stay motivated. What helped me move forward was changing my mindset and focusing on gradual improvement instead of immediate success. As I continued learning and applying what I understood, things started to make more sense. I became more patient, more focused, and more in control of my actions.
