The US wants to confiscate Venezuela's cryptocurrency reserves following Maduro's arrest. The holdings include a massive secret vault containing up to 600,000 bitcoins worth approximately $60 billion, obtained through sanctions-busting sales of oil, gold, and USDT, CNBC reports. If the assets are frozen, approximately 3% of the circulating supply will be removed from circulation for several years. This could cause the price of bitcoin to skyrocket.
