There are indicators that do not make it into the business/economics headlines and, yet, anticipate what’s to come. One of them is the number of companies that have started moving paper again to register their trademarks in Venezuela. According to Ibero-American legal dispatches consulted by international media, since January this year the flow of inquiries and applications stopped being a desert and started looking more like a line of people pushing forward.
The figures being cited point to about 14,600 trademark registration applications filed during 2025 and a growth projection of nearly 10% for 2026. For anyone who has followed the Venezuelan market over the past decade, that’s not a minor detail: it’s the difference between a country nobody mentioned in a board meeting and a country that once again shows up on the agenda.

📊 What was cooked up in New York
Venezuelan diplomacy moved a piece on the multilateral chessboard once again. Foreign Minister Félix Plasencia held a bilateral meeting with Pedro Manuel Moreno, who serves as the acting Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), to review the state of cooperation between Caracas and that organization.
But the juicy part of the announcement isn’t in the rundown of what’s already been done, but in the menu of what’s coming next: trade facilitation, promotion and diversification of exports, investment, e-commerce, and the digital economy. In other words, topics that closely affect the ecosystem where Venezuelan cryptocurrency users, P2P exchangers, and fintech companies trying to survive in the country operate.

The Digital Bank of Workers (BDT) stepped up on security matters and added Dynamic CVC to its digital prepaid Mastercard card. This move is no small thing: these are security codes that expire, designed so that anyone attempting to clone or reuse the data from your plastic ends up with empty hands. In a country where electronic fraud is daily fare, any additional layer of protection is appreciated.
But at PitbullChain we don’t see this as only a banking headline. We see it as a sign of where Venezuelan digital banking is headed and how close it is getting (or moving away) from the P2P and crypto ecosystem that drives a large part of the country’s foreign currency flows.

Coca-Cola announced a visual refresh of its brand identity that is already available in Venezuela through its bottler Coca-Cola FEMSA as of September 21. A more intense red, the dynamic ribbon in the foreground, the larger Spencerian logo, and a color cap system—red for the Original, black for Zero Sugar, and gray for Light—are at the core of the change. The flavor, they say, remains the same.
At first glance, it’s marketing news. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned at PitbullChain, it’s that in Venezuela even a soft drink’s cap change ends up turning into a conversation about the dollar rate, banking, and the P2P market for USDT. Here’s why.

Venezuelan’s financial board was in motion this Tuesday, September 22. As reported by Reuters, the president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Ilan Goldfajn, has been pushing for the approval of a US$2.5 billion loan for the Venezuelan government, but he has run into resistance from part of the board of directors, which does not look favorably on granting the credit without the conditions that this organization usually requires from other borrowers.
The figure is not insignificant: the IDB stopped disbursing new financing to Venezuela in May 2018, when the country fell into arrears. Restarting that relationship would, in theory, mean a multilateral boost to the economic recovery narrative advanced by the Executive together with Washington, and a return to the table of organizations such as the IMF, with which there were already discussions about Special Drawing Rights.

The official confirmation arrived from Washington: Donald Trump and Delcy Rodríguez will meet face to face on Tuesday in New York, taking advantage of the UN General Assembly’s High-Level Week. It is the first direct contact between a U.S. head of state and a Venezuelan leader in more than eleven years, and although the formal agenda has not been detailed, the announcement alone is already moving pieces on the country’s transition desks.
For anyone who operates day to day with USDT, cash dollars, or digital bolívares, the question is not merely protocol—it’s practical: what happens with the gap, with the P2P spread, and with the liquidity in the coming weeks?

Poker has returned to the large table of Venezuela’s economy. After more than a decade of forced absence, the tournaments played in Caracas and Lechería are now moving between 60,000 and 100,000 US dollars per month in entries alone, and the community of active players has grown from about 150 to more than a thousand in just four years since reopening. The figure isn’t huge, but it is telling: it describes a niche that rebuilt its payment structure, its travel logistics, and its competitive calendar in a country where moving money is still a risky business.

Changan didn’t come to play on the road. With six years in the Venezuelan market and a third-place sales position that no one disputes, the Chinese brand unveiled the **Alsvin Plus Automatic**, the most ambitious version of its best-selling sedan. This isn’t just a mid-cycle refresh: it’s a deep redesign that goes straight to the driver who wants technology, space, and safety without going over budget.
For PitbullChain, the news goes beyond the automotive world. In a country where much of the biggest spending is thought of in dollars, the launch of a popular car with financing available is a perfect thermometer of how money is moving in Venezuela: between cash, traditional banking, and the USDT that more and more people are keeping in their phones.
