Iran's Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance has introduced Hormuz Safe, a new maritime insurance platform that uses bitcoin for payments. The platform aims to insure cargo passing through the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, potentially generating over $10 billion in annual revenue. This initiative could allow Iran to monetize shipping through this critical oil transit route amid regional tensions. However, the platform raises concerns about compliance with U.S. sanctions, and its full operational details remain unclear as it is newly launched.
