President Donald Trump has called rumors that Washington is going to pay Tehran billions of dollars an absolute fake. However, the topic of a possible recovery fund worth $300 billion has already triggered a wave of disputes in the crypto community. Investors are trying to understand how a new deal between the countries will affect the digital-assets market.
The trigger for the heated discussions was a preliminary memorandum of understanding. The US and Iran plan to sign it on June 19. Traders on social media immediately began calculating the options. Many assume that the financial flows under this agreement could go through bitcoin or stablecoins.

What the $300 billion fund actually means
Vice President JD Vance hurried to reassure the public on CBS. According to him, Tehran will see this money only after fulfilling all its obligations. Moreover, American taxpayers will not spend a single cent, since the fund will be sponsored by Middle Eastern monarchies.
«These are funds they will be able to use — provided they meet their obligations, and they will be financed by a coalition of Persian Gulf countries», — Vance noted.
Donald Trump himself spoke out even more harshly on his Truth Social network. He completely denied the rumors of budget injections. The head of state stressed that Iran had firmly promised to fully wind down its nuclear program. Of course, over the course of lengthy negotiations, diplomats had put forward the most varied conditions.
«…the story that the US is paying Iran 300 million dollars is a fake spread by the Democrats!!!» — Trump wrote on the social network.
