## Venezuelan retail accelerates
That the country has added 77 new supermarkets so far this year is not just a sector statistic; it is a signal interpreted by all economic actors, from the corner shop owner to those moving digital dollars through P2P. The National Association of Supermarkets and Self-Service Stores (ANSA), through its president Ítalo Atencio, also revealed that the supply index is around 98% and that two international retail chains are evaluating entering Venezuela. That context has direct implications for the exchange market, digital payments, and the circulation of cryptocurrencies such as USDT.
