Some reports estimate the program could eventually generate more than $10 billion in revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thekobeissiletter.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">The Kobeissi Letter<\/a> reported that the service is intended for Iranian shipping companies and cargo owners. Coverage would reportedly begin immediately after confirmation, with ship owners receiving signed proof of insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier reports from more than a month ago claimed that Iran was considering charging vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz up to $2 million in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the latest update did not clarify whether the newly introduced insurance service would replace those proposed transit fees or operate as an additional charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin reacted strongly when the earlier reports first emerged, with prices jumping immediately after the news circulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cryptocurrency has already rebounded by roughly $1,000 from its local low recorded earlier today. After briefly falling below $76,600, Bitcoin has recovered and is now trading around $77,700.#crypto#cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could Bitcoin react the same way it did when similar reports first surfaced?
