Connection thesis
Oil prices ticking up amid Strait of Hormuz closure impasse (360559) should theoretically correlate with macro risk premium expansion, which *should* trigger VIX/BTC implied vol increases. Yet BTC IV is at 7-month low (360567). This is a genuine divergence: equity/macro vol rising while crypto vol suppressed. Mechanism: institutional BTC demand (MSTR, macro hedge rotation into digital assets vs. traditional equities) is absorbing Hormuz-risk premium *away from* crypto volatility channels and *into* spot accumulation. Testable.

Prediction
BTC IV remains at or below 7-month lows despite oil/equity vol expansion over next 48h, as institutional buyers use macro volatility as entry signal for spot accumulation rather than hedge positioning (yield-suppressing vol selling continues).
