## Acuerdos que van más allá de la geopolítica
La noticia de que Venezuela y Vietnam están ampliando su cooperación con más de 30 acuerdos no es solo un tema de cancillería. Para quienes operan en el mercado P2P, las alianzas internacionales siempre tienen un eco en las tasas, en la oferta de dólares y en la confianza sobre el futuro de la economía. La presidenta encargada, Delcy Rodríguez, condecoró al embajador saliente vietnamita, Vu Trung My, en un acto donde destacó los 51 acuerdos vigentes y las nuevas negociaciones en áreas sensibles como energía, telecomunicaciones y agricultura.
PitbullChain analiza lo que esto significa para el bolsillo del venezolano y para el creciente ecosistema de criptomonedas en el país, donde el USDT y el bolívar conviven en una danza constante marcada por la inflación y la escasez de divisas.
## Cooperación en energía y agricultura: ¿qué puede cambiar?
Que uno de los nuevos acuerdos toque el sector energético no es menor. Venezuela sigue con problemas de gasolina y electricidad en varias regiones, y Vietnam ha mostrado interés en tecnología de refinación y energía renovable. Si estos acuerdos se concretan y traen inversión real, podrían aliviar costos de producción y reducir la presión sobre el dólar.
En agricultura, las importaciones de alimentos siguen siendo uno de los principales motores del gasto en divisas. Si Vietnam ayuda a mejorar la productividad interna, la demanda de dólares para importar podría bajar, lo que a la larga ayudaría a estabilizar el tipo de cambio y a que el bolívar gane algo de terreno. Pero ojo: los acuerdos no son inmediatos; los venezolanos ya sabemos que de la firma a la ejecución hay un trecho largo.
Para el P2P, cualquier señal de estabilidad o de escasez impacta directamente. Cuando el gobierno anuncia alianzas internacionales, el dólar paralelo suele reaccionar con nerviosismo, y los traders de USDT aprovechan la volatilidad para hacer sus movimientos.
## Telecomunicaciones y tecnología: la puerta para la banca digital y las cripto
Vietnam es un gigante tecnológico con empresas de telecomunicaciones que podrían traer inversión a Venezuela. Mejorar la conectividad y la infraestructura digital es clave para que el P2P crezca: sin internet estable y rápido, no hay exchange que funcione bien.
Además, si se facilita el acceso a servicios financieros digitales, más venezolanos podrían refugiarse en criptomonedas como USDT, que ya es un pilar en las transacciones cotidianas. La banca digital venezolana ha tenido avances, pero sigue estando limitada por la hiperinflación del bolívar y la dolarización de facto. Cualquier acuerdo que fomente la tecnología podría empujar a más personas a usar billeteras electrónicas y plataformas P2P para protegerse de la devaluación.
En un país donde el bolívar pierde valor a diario, la posibilidad de tener acceso a productos financieros en dólares digitales se vuelve cada vez más atractiva. Si Vietnam ayuda a modernizar el sector telecomunicaciones, el mercado cripto local tendría un impulso inesperado.
## El factor geopolítico y la dolarización
No podemos obviar el contexto. Desde la captura de Maduro, el gobierno de Delcy Rodríguez ha buscado alianzas estratégicas con distintos países, incluyendo acuerdos energéticos con Estados Unidos. Este acercamiento con Vietnam refuerza la narrativa de un gobierno que busca oxígeno económico, pero para el mercado P2P lo importante es: ¿esto traerá más dólares o más controles?
Históricamente, los acuerdos internacionales han sido una espada de doble filo. Pueden significar inversión en sectores clave, pero también generan más deuda y compromisos que se pagan con el dinero de todos. La dolarización de facto sigue siendo la única forma de vida para muchos, y el USDT se ha convertido en el refugio perfecto: fácil de mover, resistente a la inflación y aceptado en el P2P como un dólar digital descentralizado.
Si los acuerdos con Vietnam se traducen en mayor estabilidad energética y alimentaria, el dólar podría perder algo de presión, bajando la demanda de USDT de emergencia. Pero si solo quedan en buenas intenciones, el mercado seguirá viendo cómo cada anuncio genera un repunte en la tasa y una corrida hacia las cripto.
## ¿Qué debe vigilar el trader de P2P?
Para nosotros en PitbullChain, estos son los puntos a observar:
- Si los acuerdos presupuestan inversión en tecnología, pronto podría haber mejoras en internet y servicios digitales, lo que facilitaría el acceso a exchanges y billeteras.
- Si hay cooperación agrícola, vigilar los precios de los alimentos: una reducción en importaciones podría influir en el flujo de dólares del BCV.
- La energía es clave: apagones o escasez de combustible afectan toda la economía, incluyendo el P2P, que depende de la electricidad para funcionar.
- Y, sobre todo, la evolución de la tasa de cambio oficial y paralela, porque los acuerdos internacionales suelen venir acompañados de anuncios económicos que mueven el mercado.
En definitiva, la negociación con Vietnam no es una noticia aislada. Es un recordatorio de que Venezuela sigue buscando formas de sobrevivir económicamente, mientras los ciudadanos encuentran en las criptomonedas una herramienta para sortear la incertidumbre. En PitbullChain estaremos atentos a cada movimiento.

🇻🇪 The Venezuelan P2P market is going through a paradox that hasn’t been seen in months. According to Binance data this morning, 89.7% of the traded volume is trying to buy USDT, while the active sell offers total 244. But if there’s so much demand, why doesn’t the spread explode? Today I want to break it down.
📊 At the time of publishing, in Binance’s P2P: Buying USDT is at Bs. 971.67 and Selling is at Bs. 931.20. That leaves a gap of 40.47 bolivars (4.35%). Or, in plain terms: if you buy and sell instantly, you lose 4.35% of your capital in the transaction. It’s not a premium against the official dollar, but the real cost of liquidity.

of oil
Héctor Obregón, president of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), highlighted that Venezuela has 303.000 billion barrels of oil underground, but «it is necessary to monetize these resources and it is important to increase production».
The president of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), Héctor Obregón, pointed out that the purpose of the Hydrocarbons Engine and the Venezuelan state oil company is for the nation to move beyond the condition of being only a large oil reserve and become an active major producer of hydrocarbons.

📉 Did you know that today 89.7% of P2P operations in Venezuela are looking for $USDT? It’s a historic imbalance. Meanwhile, buying USDT is at Bs. 994.74 and selling at Bs. 942.26. The spread is Bs. 52.48 (5.57%). What does this tell us? That the bolívar is losing ground as a store of value and that more and more people are seeking refuge in the digital dollar.
On social media, people ask me: “and why does the spread remain so wide?” Part of the answer lies in supply and demand: when 89.7% of the volume is buying, sellers have the control. This is nothing new, but the volume we saw this week (more than $44 million daily according to Ecoanalítica) shows real pressure.

## China loses ground on Venezuela's oil chessboard
For years, Venezuela and China forged an alliance that combined billion-dollar loans, cheap oil, and diplomatic support. Today, the new oil agreement between Caracas and a consortium linked to the United States (NABEP) not only fractures that relationship, but also exposes Beijing to a triple loss: financial, commercial, and geopolitical. For Venezuelans who keep a close eye on the dollar price and the dynamics of the P2P market, this is not just a geopolitical game; it is a factor that could move the needle on the parallel dollar and the liquidity of cryptocurrencies.

Major financial revolutions are not born from speculation, but from the urgent need for survival. In an environment like Venezuela's, where the current economic transition coexists with the persistent shadow of devaluation, cryptocurrencies and stablecoins have ceased to be an exotic alternative and have become the de facto financial infrastructure for millions of people.
The current outlook: Macroeconomics, transition, and digital refuge.
We are witnessing a moment of profound reconfiguration. On one hand, recent moves in the energy and industrial sectors are trying to breathe new life into the real economy, but exchange-rate friction, the loss of purchasing power of the bolívar, and the limitations of the traditional banking system continue to punish local savings.

Ítalo Atencio, president of the National Association of Supermarkets and Self-Service Stores (ANSA), pointed out that the country's supply index stands at 98%.
The president of the National Association of Supermarkets and Self-Service Stores (ANSA), Ítalo Atencio, noted that two international retail companies have been reviewing the Venezuelan market.
He also said that so far this year, 77 supermarkets have opened across Venezuela, 10 of them in the state of Zulia, while 4 were opened in Monagas.

The financial institution indicated that in the eighth month of the year, an inflation rate consistent with the macroeconomic policy actions applied to achieve price stabilization was achieved.
According to data provided by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) for August 2026, the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) recorded a month-over-month variation of 8.9%.
In a post on its website, the financial institution explained that in the eighth month of the year a recovery in distribution channels was observed and lower pressure in the foreign exchange market was also recorded, «which was reflected in a smaller variation in the exchange rate and in the prices of goods and services».

and Reconstruction of Venezuela
The alliance combines CAF's institutional capacity, the experience and coordination of Venezuela Sin Límites in the country, and the international network of Unidos en Red to mobilize resources, bring in partners, and expand the impact of the Fund.
CAF —Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean—, the Venezuela Sin Límites Foundation and the Unidos en Red Foundation formalized an alliance to promote and expand the scope of the Fund for the Recovery and Reconstruction of Venezuela (FORRV), created and managed by CAF.

This Saturday, P2P opens with a spread of Bs. 37.54 (4.01%). At first glance it seems high, but is it a sign of low liquidity or of a market looking for equilibrium? While the BCV does not publish a rate, the real reference is set by active offers: 253. That number tells me there is movement, but also that amounts are being handled more cautiously. Ecoanalítica’s data points to $44 million daily on Binance P2P; that does not drop suddenly. What has changed is execution: now speed and trust in the counterparty matter more than making 2 or 3 bolívares per dollar. Binance has put the focus on liquidity and on ensuring transactions close without surprises. My recommendation as an expert: do not marry a single price. Check the trend, compare the spread, and always verify the buyer’s or seller’s profile before hitting confirm. The Venezuelan P2P market is maturing, and those who understand the flow gain an advantage over those who only chase the highest number. How are you trading this weekend: with limit orders or do you accept the best available offer? I’m reading you.

## A geopolitical shift with global economic impact
The announcement of an energy alliance between the United States and Venezuela has shaken the geopolitical board. Not only because of what it means for crude oil production, but because it redefines the rules of the international financial game. For China, one of the country’s largest creditors, the agreement is a direct blow to its strategy for recovering billions in debts.
For decades, Venezuela was the main recipient of Chinese loans in Latin America. Oil in exchange for money, a simple equation that is now becoming more complicated. It is estimated that Chinese state-owned banks granted the country at least 60 billion dollars through 2015, and the outstanding debt would exceed 10 billion. With the arrival of the U.S. company North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP), control of the oil fields changes hands, and with it, the possibility that Beijing can collect through crude oil.

The fallacy of the "monkey with a razor blade" analogy
During the 2017-2018 period, an acquaintance in #venezuela told me that the persistent rise of the dollar was due to an agenda to disrupt the country's economy.
He was a person whom I held in high esteem, with an MBA from a European university, an intelligent and highly competent professional and a great reader who served as president of a now-defunct government institution.
His conviction was strong, argumentative, and so persuasive that it managed to get a contact he had in the #BancoCentraldeVenezuela to allow him to prepare an econometric study where he pointed out that the whims of the exchange rate price were as capricious and random as those of a "monkey with a razor blade".

Venezuelan P2P enters the weekend with more than 260 active merchants and an eye on the psychological barrier of Bs. 1,000 per $USDT.
Today, Friday, liquidity on Binance remains firm: buying is around Bs. 962 and selling averages Bs. 959, showing fast execution for those who need to safeguard cash flow before the weekly banking cutoff.
3 key points for trading with a cool head today:
1️⃣ Filter verified merchants: with the typical Friday increase in volume, speed and transaction history are worth more than scraping a couple of bolívares.
