Binance CEO @cz_binance says the crypto industry is too transparent:
"I think right now the crypto industry is too transparent. It's actually extremely easy to track crypto funds. The blockchain is a public ledger. If you couple that with a few centralized exchanges, KYC information, you can track most of the transactions pretty accurately. So I think right now there's a lack of preserving of privacy."
"For example, if your company pays everybody in crypto and if you get one payment today on the blockchain, you can just trace to the address that paid you and see how many addresses that address paid in the last week, then you can figure out everybody's salary. That's a privacy issue."
"Another example, if you pay for a hotel [in crypto], then people will know that you're going to stay at that hotel, which for some people may create security issues. So there's little problems like those that are not solved yet."

Iran to charge tanker transit tolls in Bitcoin, per the FT
Iran wants to charge $2M per VLCC transit, which works out to $450M a month, and about $1 per barrel of crude oil, equivalent to a 1.4% toll on cargo value assuming $72 per barrel.
Apply the same fee proportionally to refined products and LNG, and the total toll would run at $670M/month (assuming pre-war volumes and prices).
Caveat: the Iranian spokeperson who said this believes bitcoin payments are untraceable.
