Iran plans to charge a toll for transit tankers during the ceasefire period, $1 per barrel, payable in Bitcoin

A spokesman for the alliance of Iranian oil, gas, and petrochemical exporters stated that during a two-week ceasefire, Iran plans to charge all tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz a toll of $1 per barrel. Tankers are required to use the northern route close to the Iranian coast and report their cargo via email to the Iranian side before completing payment in Bitcoin or other digital currencies within seconds. Iran indicated that this move is to monitor for any weapon transports, and unapproved vessels will face military strike threats. Currently, only a few tankers associated with Iran are attempting transit, with about 300 to 400 vessels waiting to leave in the Gulf, industry insiders say it will be difficult to clear the backlog in two weeks.

Federal Reserve meeting minutes: More officials mention the possibility of interest rate hikes

The minutes from the Federal Reserve's March meeting indicated that the number of officials wanting to signal to the market a possible interest rate hike instead of further rate cuts has increased. The minutes showed, "Some participants believe there is ample reason to provide a two-way description of the committee's future monetary policy decisions in the post-meeting statement." In contrast, only "a few" participants held this view in the January meeting minutes. In the Federal Reserve's terminology, "some" refers to more individuals than "a few."

CZ's new book highlights: Almost became the CEO of Mt.Gox in China, learned of the 94 ban in advance, introduced cryptocurrency to prisoners while in jail...

On April 8, CZ's personal memoir "Binance Life" officially launched, mentioning many interesting personal experiences, such as being recommended as the CEO of Mt.Gox in China in early 2014, responsible for the Chinese business and receiving a 10% equity stake. Just before signing the contract, Mt.Gox collapsed on February 7, 2014, halting user withdrawals, leading CZ to decide not to join.

The night before the announcement of the 94 ban, CZ received a message on his phone indicating that there would be a "major rectification" the next day. At 12:30 AM, CZ urgently held a conference call with executives including He Yi, ultimately deciding that he, He Yi, and Heina would go to Tokyo, while others would temporarily remain in Shanghai.

During the latter part of his prison sentence, CZ was transferred to a halfway house, where he was approved to serve as a volunteer, and one of the tasks was to help prepare cryptocurrency educational materials for prisoners.
