據《金融時報》週三早間報導，伊朗政府擬對穿越荷莫茲海峽的油輪收取通行費，收費標準為每桶石油 1 美元，且需以加密貨幣支付。

消息傳出後數分鐘內，主流加密貨幣價格應聲大漲。

比特幣一度漲超 72,700 美元，隨後小幅回落，仍上漲 5%，站穩 71,700 美元上方。索拉納幣與以太幣分別衝高 7% 和 8%，盤中同樣回吐了部分漲幅。

According to a report by the Financial Times early Wednesday, the Iranian government is planning to levy a toll on oil tankers traversing the Strait of Hormuz, at a rate of $1 per barrel of oil, and payment must be made in cryptocurrency.

Within minutes of the news breaking, prices of major cryptocurrencies surged in response.

Bitcoin briefly rose above $72,700 before pulling back slightly, but still maintained a 5% gain and held firm above $71,700. Solana and Ethereum spiked by 7% and 8% respectively, also giving up some of their intraday gains.
