🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇨🇳IRAN IS STILL SHIPPING OIL THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ BUT ONLY TO CHINA.
Iran has reportedly sent at least 11.7 MILLION barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz since the war began — ALL of which were headed to China.
The reason is GEOPOLITICAL.
Iran has reportedly restricted passage to ships linked to China or neutral countries, while threatening vessels tied to the U.S., Israel, or Western allies.
China is also Iran’s LARGEST oil buyer, importing roughly 1.3–1.5 million barrels per day of Iranian crude under discounted contracts.
Most of this oil goes to independent Chinese refineries, which rely heavily on sanctioned crude sold below market prices.
In other words:
Iran needs revenue.
China needs cheap energy.
The world’s most critical oil chokepoint is now being SELECTIVELY controlled.

I’m excited to share my recent interview with @ysiu, Chairman and Co-founder of @animocabrands .
Animoca Brands is a global leader in blockchain and gaming with the goal to provide property rights for virtual assets. The company develops and publishes games such as The Sandbox and works with well-known intellectual properties including Disney, WWE, and Formula E. The company has also built multiple Web3 investments, supporting projects such as OpenSea, Axie Infinity, and Dapper Labs.
“Today we have over 𝟔𝟎𝟎 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐬 and we have probably one of the largest balance sheets when it comes to altcoins. We were the seed investors in Axi Infiniti, we acquired Sandbox for $𝟒 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧, we invested in OpenSea when the valuation was like $𝟏𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 - it actually obviously turned out to be some of our most successful investments.”
Yat emphasises that the gaming culture brings with itself a whole lot of opportunities to learn and digital ownership.

The interview also explores the realms of how gaming has proved to be an engaging way of education and decentralised finance, tokenisation, digital ownership and much more.
