According to Iranian media, Tehran is considering a new system for managing the strait based on &#8220;insurance&#8221; for ships passing through the area. The model is set to include payments in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The information <a href=\"mailto:https:\/\/farsnews.ir\/Rahgozar_b\/1778916889907171744\/Irans-Economy-Ministry-Proposes-Insurance-Based-Model-to-Manage-Strait-of-Hormuz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">was reported by Iranian agency Fars News<\/a>, which is closely linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The agency stated that Iran&#8217;s Ministry of Economy is preparing a plan under which passage through the Strait of Hormuz would operate through a system of marine insurance and certificates of financial responsibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The entire situation comes at a time of ongoing tension between the United States and Iran. The Strait of Hormuz represents a strategic artery of global oil trade \u2013 according to estimates, roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies pass through it. Moreover, following American airstrikes in Iran at the end of February, numerous ships have begun navigating the area with significant complications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table of Contents: <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-table-of-contents\"><ul><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#aioseo-na-socialnich-sitich-koluji-screenshoty-udajneho-webu-5\">Screenshots of alleged website circulating on social media<\/a><ul><\/ul><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#aioseo-bitcoin-misto-usdt-10\">Bitcoin instead of USDT?<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#aioseo-platba-behem-nekolika-sekund-14\">Payment within seconds<\/a><ul><\/ul><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#aioseo-objevuji-se-i-podvody-19\">Scams are also emerging<\/a><ul><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-na-socialnich-sitich-koluji-screenshoty-udajneho-webu-5\">Screenshots of alleged website circulating on social media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, considerable attention has been drawn to screenshots of a website called &#8220;Hormuz Safe,&#8221; which <a href=\"mailto:https:\/\/x.com\/Dennis_Porter_\/status\/2056108303663468549\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">began spreading across social media<\/a>. The site allegedly offered &#8220;digital insurance for marine cargo&#8221; and according to some speculation was supposed to enable payments in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the authenticity of the website remains unclear. At the time of writing, the site was unavailable and there is no confirmation that it was actually connected to the Iranian government. It is therefore not impossible that it could have been a scam or fake website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, Fars News stated that the goal of the insurance platform is to be the differentiation of transit vessels by country of origin. According to the agency, the system could bring Iran more than $10 billion annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"aioseo-nenechte-si-ujit-platby-stablecoiny-na-revolutu-raketove-rostou-9\">Don&#8217;t miss: <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto-globe.com\/en\/stablecoin-payments-on-revolut-are-skyrocketing-in-2025-the-volume-grew-by-156\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Stablecoin payments on Revolut are skyrocketing<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-bitcoin-misto-usdt-10\">Bitcoin instead of USDT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea of using Bitcoin does not seem entirely random in the current geopolitical situation.
