🇺🇲🗣US President Donald Trump stated this Monday that he is considering adding Venezuela to the territory of his country.🇻🇪

Trump claimed he is 'seriously considering' turning Venezuela into 'the 51st state of the United States'.🇻🇪🇺🇲

🤔 The acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, reacted to Trump's statements. She asserted that Venezuela has 'never' considered being the 51st state of the United States as suggested by the American leader.

✍🏻 However, even though Venezuela is not currently the 51st state, it has been de facto overseen by the US since January 3, 2026, after invading and bombing the South American country, kidnapping the constitutional president Nicolás Maduro and the First Lady and Deputy Cilia Flores.🇻🇪🔥

🇺🇲 The US is handling Venezuelan resources at will, controlling and selling oil, minerals, and reserves, taking away uranium, under the guise of their illegal OFAC licenses, altering Venezuelan laws to suit their convenience, resulting in significant changes in public institutions and officials, leading to inflation growth, economic crisis, social unrest, electricity crises, water crises, and increasing discontent among the population.

🇻🇪 The people must fight to maintain their sovereignty..

$BTC in $80K — what does this dip mean for crypto savers?

Bitcoin hit $107K a few weeks back. Today it’s around ~$80,500. That's a 25% drop from its all-time high. If you’re reading this and bought in at the peaks, I know it stings.

But let’s put this in Venezuelan context.

While here the cumulative inflation for Q1 2026 is 89.99% (BCV), BTC has seen a 25% drop. Two very different realities. When you compare any asset to losing half your purchasing power in 4 months, almost everything seems stable.

What happened with BTC? Several things:
- Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted $28 billion in net inflows during 2025. That’s institutional. It’s not social media speculation.
- There was massive profit-taking after the rally.
- Global macro uncertainty.
- By the way, Latin America grew 3x faster than the U.S. in crypto adoption this year.

The key question isn’t "Is BTC going to go up or down tomorrow?". Nobody knows that. The question is: what do you believe in for the long term and are you willing to hold even when the market shakes?

For those saving in Venezuela, having exposure to BTC with a position you can hold without panic selling is still more rational than holding everything in bolívares. BTC's volatility is real. Your local currency’s volatility is too, it’s just that it always trends downward.

Do you have BTC today or just USDT? Have you considered diversifying even just a little?

The only way I've been able to make money here is by buying #usdt since it hasn't depreciated in my local currency. Every time I try to invest in a different coin, I end up losing money. Has anyone else experienced this??? #CRITOPMONEDA #venezuela #TradingTales

Crypto Projects in Venezuela 🇻🇪

The Petro (PTR)
was an ambitious initiative from the Venezuelan government launched in 2018, presented as the first cryptocurrency backed by natural resource reserves (oil, gold, iron, and diamonds). However, its journey recently reached a definitive endpoint.
Here's a rundown of its current situation and what it represented:

1. The Cessation of Operations
At the beginning of January 2024, the Patria system initiated the process of definitive liquidation of the Petro. The crypto wallets within the platform were closed, and the remaining balances were automatically converted to Digital Bolivars. With this move, the coin ceased to circulate and be used as a unit of account for legal proceedings.

2. Why Did It Stop Functioning?
Several factors influenced its demise:
International Sanctions: The U.S. Treasury Department prohibited its citizens from transacting with the Petro, limiting its global adoption.
Lack of Trust: It never managed to get listed on major international cryptocurrency exchanges.
Restructuring of Sunacrip: Following investigations into administrative irregularities at the National Superintendency of Crypto Assets in 2023, the state crypto ecosystem entered an intervention phase that culminated in the elimination of the Petro.

3. Its Practical Use
During its existence, the Petro had two main functions:
Unit of Account: It was used to calculate the cost of passports (SAIME), fines, registrations, and notary services.
Savings and Payment Mechanism: It was distributed through bonds and the "Medio Petro" of bonuses for pensioners and public employees, although its convertibility to physical currency was always complex.

Today, the Petro is a completed project.

Crypto Project in Venezuela 🇻🇪

El Tigre Crypto
During **Ernesto Paraqueima**'s tenure as mayor of El Tigre, a project related to the digital ecosystem called **"El Tigre Crypto"** was launched.
Here are the key points of that initiative:

1. Project Objective
The proposal aimed to turn El Tigre into a "smart city" or a tech *hub* in the eastern part of the country. The plan was to incentivize the use of cryptocurrencies for everyday commercial transactions, seeking to boost the local economy and attract tech investment.

2. The "El Tigre Crypto" Wallet
The creation of its own digital wallet and an exchange system was announced. The idea was for both citizens and merchants to process payments for services and products using digital assets, integrating platforms like Binance to facilitate convertibility.

3. Tax Incentives
As part of the strategy, it was proposed that those businesses adopting cryptocurrencies as an official payment method could receive certain benefits or tax incentives on municipal tax payments, in order to accelerate tech adoption in the area.

4. Training and Mining
The project also included training spaces for young people in **blockchain and programming**. Additionally, there were discussions about regulating digital mining in the municipality to operate under a legal framework and contribute to the local treasury.

**Current Status:**
After Paraqueima left the mayor's office in 2023, the project lost the institutional momentum it originally had. Although interest in cryptocurrencies remains strong in the business community of El Tigre due to economic necessity, the government plan structured as "El Tigre Crypto" has practically come to a standstill.

May 2026 solidifies Binance as the "financial oxygen" in Venezuela. Although the technical landscape is complex (blockages and banking risks), the integration of public banking has eased access to digital dollarization.

🇻🇪🪙🚀💹

Based on the data available as of May 11, 2026, Binance remains the leading crypto exchange platform in Venezuela, serving as the main price reference for the informal currency market, with a key role of USDT (Tether) amid persistent inflation.

Binance is consolidating at #venezuela 🇻🇪

🚨Authorities in Carabobo, Venezuela, confiscated 13 Bitcoin miners following the implementation of rewards for tips. This marks the beginning of a state offensive to eradicate digital mining, claiming it’s to stabilize the electrical system.

📉 Bitcoin's price is pulling back after surpassing USD 82,000, impacted by Donald Trump's rejection of the peace proposal presented by Iran.

🌍 Meanwhile, the market is waiting for updates on the Clarity Act and the leadership change at the U.S. Federal Reserve (FED).
