[Venezuelan President uses cryptocurrency to circumvent sanctions] Golden Finance reported that Venezuelan political critics accused President Nicolás Maduro and his government of increasingly relying on cryptocurrency transactions in an attempt to circumvent international sanctions. The United States recently reimposed gold and oil sanctions because Maduro failed to ensure an agreement for fair elections in July. Chainalysis' analysis shows that the Venezuelan National Cryptocurrency Asset Supervision and Administration (SUNACRIP) is transferring large amounts of stablecoins, operations that facilitate financial operations even under sanctions.
