The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has put Venezuela back on its radar. Its president, Ilan Goldfajn, confirmed to Reuters that the institution is preparing a two-year working document for the country, with two clear priorities: the electricity sector and social protection. The news sounds like multilateral policy headlines, but at PitbullChain we read it with a different lens: does this move the dollar? does it affect the P2P market? does it change the life of whoever holds their savings in USDT?

📊 A two-year plan, but with no date for the real money

The first thing to say, without frills, is that this is planning, not disbursement. Goldfajn was explicit: they are in the missions, data collection and design phase. There is no financing schedule, no committed amounts, and no defined path for resolving the arrears that the country has with the agency.

The IDB stopped approving new loans to Venezuela from May 2018, after the defaults. Since then, the relationship has been in a sort of technical limbo: the portfolio stays alive, there is conversation, but no new credit flows. What has changed now is not the money, it’s the gesture. And in a country where most signals come through hallway rumors, that gesture already has informational value.

📈 The $2 billion debt that nobody wants to put on the table

The agency maintains a pending portfolio with Venezuela close to $2 billion. When they asked Goldfajn whether the IDB is preparing its own debt sustainability analysis, the answer was evasive: the focus is on the macroeconomic framework and sectoral needs, not on a formal restructuring exercise.

Plainly put: they’re talking about diagnosis, not cash. And as long as there’s no cash, the impact on the real economy —and on the exchange rate— is more narrative than material. Be careful with that, because in the local market there are plenty of people selling smoke with any headline that mentions Venezuela.

🔎 Electricity: the point that hurts Venezuelans the most

That the IDB puts electricity at the center is no coincidence. In Venezuela, the electricity service is at once daily drama and an economic variable. For commerce it means losses, for industry it means costs, and for the small crypto miner it’s the difference between running equipment and shutting it down.

Nobody mines profitably in a country with intermittent power cuts and tariffs that move without warning. If a two-year plan could stabilize something in the electrical system —even partially— the most immediate effect wouldn’t be seen in the dollar; it would be seen in the ability to produce, collect, and process digital payments without the connection going down.

💰 The home miner and the one who gets paid in crypto

There are two very specific profiles for whom this matters. One is the person who has a rig in the room and depends on stable electricity to get something out of it. The other is the one who receives remittances in USDT and needs a connection to move funds when the bank is down. Both understand that infrastructure isn’t an abstract issue: it’s the difference between having income or not.

🛡️ And the parallel dollar? Calm down, there’s still no catalyst

Here’s the part that’s most asked about in our communities: does this knock it down or push the quotation? The honest answer is that today there is no exchange-rate catalyst. A cooperation plan in the design phase doesn’t inject foreign currency, doesn’t increase reserves, and doesn’t change the supply of dollars in the market.

The exchange rate in Venezuela moves based on liquidity, expectations, and the flow of foreign currency, not on communications from multilateral agencies. If tomorrow there were a real disbursement, with fresh resources entering the system, then we’d have a different conversation: more supply of foreign currency, downward pressure on the quotation, and a BCV with more room to intervene.

⚠️ USDT: the safe haven that doesn’t depend on the IDB

While the country waits for signals from multilateral banking, Venezuelan users keep handling their day-to-day with stablecoins. USDT doesn’t wait for technical missions or work reports: it runs 24/7, can be exchanged for bolívares in minutes, and doesn’t ask about the outstanding credit portfolio.
