Bitcoin and Trump-Linked Tokens Rally After U.S. Strike on Caracas

Bitcoin and several Trump-based cryptocurrency coins skyrocketed following the military strike by the United States in Caracas, which saw the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the operation and explained that Congress was not informed about it due to concerns of leaked information. The U.S. now controls the oil sector in Venezuela.

After the news, Bitcoin surged above $91,000 as the trading momentum continued. Investors appeared to have rotated into decentralized assets as geopolitical tensions rose. This development also had spillover effects on markets such as oil markets and the stock markets.

Tokens linking to the Trump portfolio moved rapidly. The WLFI token spiked by about 16 percent to a value of about $0.18, which was the biggest daily gain in several months, while the TRUMP token spiked by about 7.5 percent to a value of $5.40, entering the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market value again.

These developments also caused political reactions. Senate Leader Chuck Schumer called the strike “reckless,” although prediction markets indicated that the chances of impeachment were weakening or stabilizing. Like the previous day, the crypto markets remained on track with their increases, with Bitcoin as well as Trump markets continuing their trend into the next day.
