🟢Crypto community! 🚀 Analyzing the current market metrics, with a circulating supply of approximately 19.99 million BTC, getting the price of Bitcoin from its current level to the hypothetical mark of $176,671.21 would require a massive jump in its market capitalization.

To reach that target per coin, the total market cap would have to expand to exceed $3.53 trillion. Considering that its current capitalization moves around $1.26 trillion, this implies that an additional net injection of fresh capital of approximately $2.27 trillion would be needed into the ecosystem.

Analysis: Gulf energy companies debut in Venezuela with gas projects

Energy companies from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have partnered with British Petroleum to develop the second phase of a gas project at a reservoir in Venezuela.

The energy industries of two countries that make up the Persian Gulf are debuting in Venezuela with gas projects at the Loran field, located offshore, in partnership with oil company BP (British Petroleum).

According to Bloomberg Línea, companies XRG from the United Arab Emirates and UCC Holding from Qatar will hold a stake in the license granted to BP to produce more than four billion cubic feet of gas at the Venezuelan reservoir.

The gas supply would be intended to replenish the raw material for Trinidad and Tobago’s industry, including the Atlantic liquefaction plant, which is operated by BP and Shell.

This agreement between the Emirati, Qatari, and British consortia and Venezuela comes at a time when the conflict between the United States (U.S.) and Iran continues, making hydrocarbon supply from the Middle East more complicated.

Oil agreements
The signing of the agreement to develop the second phase of the gas project at the Loran field has shown the Venezuelan government’s desire to continue the agreements made previously.

This means that XRG, UCC Holding, and BP are all moving forward on oil agreements with the state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), although at a slower pace and with “moderate interest from the majority of the big oil companies.”

Covers fuel demand: PDVSA has a refining capacity of 350,000 barrels per day

Héctor Andrés Obregón Pérez, president of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), said that since last year, the Venezuelan oil industry has been ensuring supply to meet the country’s fuel demand.

The president of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), Héctor Andrés Obregón Pérez, stated that since 2024, the Venezuelan energy company has been recovering its refining capacity.

In this regard, he said they have been investing in the country’s refineries and that, currently, “we have a refining capacity of 350,000 barrels per day.”

“These 350,000 barrels have allowed us to process enough gasoline and diesel to cover national demand,” he said, adding that in 2025, “for the first time in many years, PDVSA and the Ministry of Hydrocarbons did not have to import fuel to cover national demand.”

Héctor Andrés Obregón Pérez said that nationwide there are more than 1,600 gas stations, which “are supplied with 1,000 tank trucks that are operating every day.”

He noted that so far this year, “the same has happened,” since they have managed to meet internal market demand for gasoline and diesel.

Likewise, he reiterated on VTV that, as part of the recovery in services, sales of the new high-octane gasoline, Super Premium, were introduced.

Venezuela seeks to recover gold reserves held by the Bank of England to rebuild the country

Venezuela’s gold reserves stored in the Bank of England’s underground vaults are valued at around US$4 billion.

The Venezuelan government is focusing on rebuilding the country after the double earthquake that affected several states of the nation on June 24, as well as on recovering the gold stored in the Bank of England’s underground vaults.

As Reuters reported, Venezuela’s gold reserves are valued at around US$4 billion and the Bank of England has long refused to release 31 metric tons of Venezuelan gold.

After the completion of the First Round of Talks between representatives of the National Government and the National Assembly in 2015, the delegations agreed on a series of important points for the nation, including promoting the recovery of Venezuela’s international reserve assets held at the Bank of England.

Venezuela’s gold bars have been the subject of a long legal battle in British courts, but they have not been released despite the U.S. intervention in the South American country.

Recently, the President of the National Assembly (AN), Jorge Rodríguez, said the government and legislators had agreed to focus on projects aimed at rebuilding homes, improving the capacity of the health system, access to electricity, and removing rubble.

He also highlighted that after recovering the assets, «transparency, traceability, and auditing mechanisms will be established for their efficient use, to guarantee the well-being of everyone affected».

The footwear sector is working with authorities to establish a strategy to combat smuggling

Tony Di Benedetto, president of the Venezuelan Chamber of Footwear and Components (Cavecal), said it is necessary to fight to recover its share of the domestic market.

The president of the Venezuelan Chamber of Footwear and Components (Cavecal), Tony Di Benedetto, denounced that the country is being illegally flooded with goods coming from nations such as Colombia, Brazil, among others, and that they do not comply with Venezuelan regulations.

In that regard, he highlighted that they are trying to put in place, with Venezuelan authorities, a strategy to combat smuggling: “in Venezuela we make shoes; Colombia makes shoes. What we really want is for tariffs to be applied so as to protect the industry overall a bit.”

He said they want to move toward a system of complementarity between the footwear sectors of both countries and asserted that Venezuela has quality products to export.

However, Tony Di Benedetto commented that first they must fight for the domestic market share: “in the past, we reached as much as 80% of the domestic market share. Today, unfortunately, I don’t think we even reach 15%.”

“Before exporting, we have to have an internal market that we would have to develop and protect. Once that increase in our market share is achieved, then we could talk about exporting,” he emphasized.

Likewise, he said on Unión Radio that exports of security products have been made, “but they are very sporadic; they are also not sustainable.”

Venezuela approves license for 3 multinationals to develop gas project in the Loran field

Delcy Rodríguez, acting president of Venezuela, said that after 23 years, the momentum to develop gas production in the Loran field was finally achieved.

On Thursday, August 13, Delcy Rodríguez, acting president of Venezuela, signed the approval of a license to develop the second phase of the gas projects in the Loran field, with the international companies British Petroleum (BP), XRG from the United Arab Emirates, and UCC from Qatar.

“After 23 years, we have finally managed to provide the push for gas production in this extraordinary and massive Loran field, adjacent to the Manatee reservoir on the Trinidad and Tobago side,” she said.

She also thanked the companies for their efforts and emphasized that Venezuela is currently experiencing an important moment “to truly boost hydrocarbon production” in the country.

Delcy Rodríguez stated that the multinationals are contributing to the efforts of the Caribbean nation to export gas and not only oil.

Development of the second phase
Meanwhile, the Minister of Hydrocarbons, Paula Henao, highlighted that the Loran field will be developed in its second phase, which will not only contribute to Venezuela’s growth in terms of gas, but will also benefit Venezuelans.

She also emphasized that “soon” the multinationals and the country will witness the production of the gas molecule that will come from the Loran gas field.

SENIAT removed the obligation to certify billing information systems

Certification of the fiscal machines and billing information systems meant that the taxpayer had to ensure that their software and hardware strictly complied with the technical standards required by SENIAT.

“By listening to all sectors, their proposals and needs, we consider repealing the previous regulation that required certification of information systems to generate invoices, thereby removing a technical barrier that could make access to the formalization process more difficult.”

This was stated by the superintendent of the National Integrated Service of Customs and Tax Administration (SENIAT), Román Maniglia, on his Instagram account.

Certification of the fiscal machines and billing information systems meant that the taxpayer had to ensure that their software and hardware strictly complied with the technical standards required by SENIAT in order to issue documents with full legal validity.

Under Ruling SNAT/2026/00084, SENIAT had already eased this burden by repealing the strict prior regulation (Ruling 0121), in order to eliminate complex procedures for developers and reduce the costs of adaptation and uncertainty for companies.
