Weekends full of surprises with Trump got off to a rapid start in the new year. We all saw how the steps taken by Trump during the holidays in 2025 shook the markets. The fact that 2026 has started quickly shows that Trump will continue to shake the markets for the rest of the year. However, we may not see any significant negativity in crypto in Venezuela.
Venezuela and Cryptocurrencies
Michael Poppe’s latest assessment is about the US intervention in Venezuela and its to cryptocurrencies focused on its impact. Poppe thinks that this operation will not affect cryptocurrencies. Trump had already been threatening Maduro for a long time and we had seen many examples of warm contact.
“Bitcoin I do not think there will be a widespread correction due to the attack on the price. This is a planned and coordinated attack on Maduro and it is long gone. The likelihood of this single event creating further negativity in the markets is relatively low. next week of BTC “I expect it to stay above 90 thousand dollars.”
In 2025, global tension caused billion-dollar liquidations in cryptocurrencies. Trump, who had a showdown with China during the October 10 collapse, ensured that more than $10 billion in leveraged positions were wiped out. In June 2025, Bitcoin dropped 2.8% from $106,042 to $103,053 in just 90 minutes following the explosions in Tehran.
We have seen shaking in cryptocurrencies at least 3 times due to discussions around customs duties in the EU and 4 times in China. If we distributed the decreases caused by all these external factors equally throughout the year, we would see major negative developments and their compensations every 2-3 weeks.
Cryptocurrencies Will Not Fall
Another cryptocurrency analyst, Tyler Hill, also agrees with Poppe. The analyst, who said that markets fell headlong in environments where he expected the situation to get worse, thinks that this is not the case in Venezuela.
“Usually the market really crashes when we expect the situation to get worse, but in this case it doesn’t seem like that.”
Shagun Makin is the third analyst who is also satisfied with the situation. Noting that Bitcoin remains above 90 thousand dollars, the analyst interprets this as a strength signal.
At the time of writing, BTC is over 91 thousand dollars and altcoins such as SHIB and DOGE continue the day with more than 5 percent gains.
