Iran now demands cryptocurrency tolls—likely Bitcoin or a stablecoin—from any tanker passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a move that turns a maritime chokepoint into a bizarre digital toll booth. According to shipping sources, the toll is set at $50,000 in BTC per passage, a figure that outpaces the typical $35,000 fee for traditional escorts.
