US revokes Iran oil waiver after tanker attacks, raising stakes for crypto sanctions evasion

• The US has revoked Iran's oil sales waiver following tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a 3% surge in oil prices.
• This action intensifies Iran's reliance on Bitcoin for sanctions evasion, particularly for toll collections on tankers passing through the Strait.
• The disruption in oil supply to China is a key factor to watch, alongside potential increases in Iranian-linked crypto wallet activity.
