BTCCSquare news:

The Strait of Hormuz disruption has trapped 13M barrels/day of oil, triggering a scramble for Russian cargoes. India's imports from Russia surged to 47% market share in March (2.14M bpd), while China absorbed 98% of Iran's sanctioned crude. This supply shock coincides with renewed US waivers for Russian oil transactions - a development that historically correlates with volatility in energy-linked crypto assets like OILCOIN and PetroDollar stablecoins.

Kpler data reveals the scale of disruption: China's Hormuz crude imports collapsed to 222K bpd in April from 4.45M previously. The supply crunch mirrors 2021 conditions that preceded Bitcoin's rally to $69K, as institutional investors often treat oil shocks as macro indicators for inflation-hedge asset allocation.
