## What changes the country’s risk perception?

When an economist of Luis Vicente León’s caliber speaks, markets pay attention. This time, his analysis of the agreement between Venezuela and the United States has an important nuance: foreign investment will not arrive immediately and will depend on implementation. But beyond the oil sector, this kind of announcement reshapes the risk-perception board in Venezuela.

In the world of P2P and cryptocurrencies, risk perception is everything. If international investors start to see Venezuela as a reliable partner—even if only because of mutual interests—the flow of capital could increase. That, in turn, puts pressure on an indicator Venezuelans watch every day: the dollar price against the bolívar.

## Taxes, costs, and the fiscal impact nobody mentions

León recalled that the agreement assigns to the U.S. 55% of effective production. But the detail that matters most to us from a financial standpoint is how costs are defined. If most of the crude is delivered at cost rather than at market price, the revenues reported by Venezuela shrink, affecting the calculation of the taxes that feed the public treasury.

Why does this matter in the crypto world? Because the state’s liquidity in bolívares depends on oil revenues. If these revenues are lower than expected, the government could accelerate money issuance, generating inflationary pressure and a devaluation of the bolívar. In that scenario, USDT and P2P become the natural pressure-release valve to protect purchasing power.

### What if the deal doesn’t add up with the fiscal accounts?

León said that the 209 billion in announced taxes only works out if valuations are based on international prices, but if the definition of costs works against that, two of the three taxes (hydrocarbons tax and ISLR) are squeezed. That means fewer dollars for the central bank and more appetite for capital controls or for alternative financing.

For the PitbullChain user, this uncertainty boils down to one recommendation: keep diversification in stablecoins like USDT and monitor signals of economic policy. The P2P market already knows this: every time there is news about agreements or sanctions, the spread between the official dollar and the parallel one moves.

## Energy, tech investment, and the next frontier of P2P

The economist also highlighted an underexplored point: reliable, cheap energy as a bottleneck for tech investment, including data centers for AI and cryptocurrency mining. Venezuela could become a candidate for this kind of capital if it can generate electricity at scale.

Just imagine what that would mean for the digital mining sector: a country with cheap energy and the ability to attract foreign capital in technological infrastructure. We wouldn’t just be talking about oil; we’d be looking at a local economy being reactivated, with higher demand for digital financial services and, of course, more P2P activity.

## In the meantime, what do we do in the market?

Luis Vicente León’s conclusion is clear: don’t expect a radical change overnight. Extra-heavy crude takes years to mature. But markets don’t wait; those trading with USDT and in P2P need to stay alert to short-term moves.

If the deal improves perceptions of Venezuela as an investment destination, we’ll likely see an appreciation of the bolívar in the short term, because foreign currency starts coming through other channels. But if the implementation mechanisms fail, there will be more pressure to take refuge in cryptoassets.

At PitbullChain we recommend hedging strategies: keep a portion in USDT, monitor the rates of the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), and track the price boards of brokerage firms, and don’t take leveraged positions in bolívares, because volatility remains high.

## The role of digital banking and P2P in the new narrative

Venezuelan digital banking is another barometer. If the “stability” narrative is reinforced, fintech companies could see more investment and more users willing to keep their funds in local accounts instead of draining everything to the outside. P2P, which already operates as a barometer of the parallel market, will be key to measuring that trust.

Here at PitbullChain, we believe that clear and timely information is the best tool for navigating these times. This agreement is a reminder that oil policy and the digital economy are more connected than they seem. Next time you see news about crude, think about how many times it could move the dollar price—and how many opportunities it opens up for P2P.

In summary: León’s caution also applies to crypto users. Let’s not get carried away by media noise. Let’s focus on the technical details, the legal frameworks, and, above all, the real flow of money. The future is built in the short term, and that’s where P2P and USDT have a lot to say.
