Shipowners are placing “huge volume requests” for insurance cover as they look to transit the Strait of Hormuz following the US-Iran ceasefire deal, according to broker McGill and Partners . With the increased demand from the market also comes “a pronounced rate correction,” said David Smith, head of marine at the London-based firm. He added that despite the ceasefire agreement, “heightened war conditions still remain and the Strait of Hormuz is still classified as a very high risk area.” The Strait of Hormuz remained largely blocked on Wednesday, as shipowners try to understand if they can safely transit the vital waterway following a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran that was announced overnight. That’s as continued fighting in the Middle East, punctuated by Israeli strikes in Lebanon, threatened to derail the US-Iran détente even as the two sides signaled they could soon hold talks to end the six-week conflict.

Gallagher & Co. “Of course, it is very early days,” James said, but “underwriters are already recognizing the ceasefire and reducing rates for some risks.” He added that insurers “will continue to be understandably cautious as they watch how this plays out.”

Ronda Churchill | Bloomberg | Getty Images A report in the New York Times claims it has discovered the identity of the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin known as Satoshi Nakamoto. The article identifies 55-year-old Adam Back – the CEO of Blockstream, a prominent cryptographer and early figure in the bitcoin community – as the strongest candidate for the founder of the revolutionary digital currency system, introduced in 2008. Back himself has denied various claims over the years that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, and did so again Wednesday in a string of posts on X . The crypto community has always maintained that the mystery isn't a financially material one and that even if proven, their identity would have little impact on bitcoin fundamentals. (What might matter more is the untouched stash of early coins.) Bitcoin, they say, has been independently operated for more than 10 years and it's perhaps better for investors that it remain that way. "Today's New York Times story is built on circumstantial interpretation of select details and speculation, not definitive cryptographic proof," Blockstream said in a statement. "Dr. Adam Back has consistently stated that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto." "Ultimately, it doesn't prove anything," Back said in the Times article. "And I will reassure you, it's really not me." John Carreyrou – the author of the investigation who rose to fame after breaking open the Theranos story in 2015 – points to similar phrasing, spelling and grammar between Back's and Satoshi's posts in early online forums, overlapping timelines of online activity and Back's early work on Hashcash, a proof-of-work system crucial for bitcoin mining. The year-long investigation is far from the first attempt to unveil Nakamoto's identity. Back is consid...
