Iran's Ministry of Economy has launched the Hormuz Safe platform, aiming to rake in over $10 billion annually in BTC under the guise of 'maritime insurance' and transit fees for passage through the occupied Strait of Hormuz. On paper, this looks like a triumph of sovereign crypto adoption, but there's no cause for celebration: Tehran has effectively imposed a forced tax of 20% on global oil traffic, compelling shipowners to fork out up to $2 million per trip to circumvent the US naval blockade.

International insurance pools don't recognize these digital papers, and the US Navy has already started forcibly redirecting tankers. Attempting to use Bitcoin to dodge sanctions on such a scale will only accelerate the introduction of total compliance and a ban on interaction with gray wallets at the level of American legislation.
