The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran, also known as Bank Markazi, confirmed on Thursday that revenue from tolls collected on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz has been deposited in cash currency, Fars news agency reported on Friday after obtaining official information.
The confirmation refuted earlier claims that Iran received the payments in cryptocurrency and media speculation about the type of funds received.
Earlier in the day, Second Vice Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Hamid-Reza Haji Babaee announced that the country had received its first revenue from the tolls. The Central Bank's subsequent clarification emphasized that the deposit was made in physical cash, not digital or crypto assets.
