Caída del bitcoin presiona la deuda de El Salvador y complica la relación con el FMI
Nayib Bukele ha seguido comprando un bitcoin al día incluso cuando la última derrota borró cientos de millones de dólares de las tenencias del gobierno.
 El desplome del bitcoin (XBTUSD) ha golpeado a pocos lugares con tanta fuerza como a El Salvador, dejando al descubierto los riesgos de la apuesta arriesgada del presidente Nayib Bukele por las criptomonedas y azotando los mercados de deuda del país.

Bukele, un ferviente defensor que hizo del token moneda de curso legal junto con el dólar, ha seguido comprando un Bitcoin al día incluso cuando la última derrota borró cientos de millones de dólares de las tenencias del gobierno y complicó las conversaciones con el Fondo Monetario Internacional sobre un préstamo de US$1.400 millones.

El foco de atención le está alcanzando ahora en los mercados financieros, donde los inversores han empujado los swaps de incumplimiento crediticio al nivel más alto en cinco meses, señalando un creciente malestar por la estrategia cripto-pesada del país. Los bonos en dólares fueron los que más cayeron en los mercados emergentes la semana pasada, antes de recortar esas pérdidas en medio de un amplio repunte de la deuda de los países en desarrollo.
La cuestión, dicen los inversores, es que Bukele está poniendo a El Salvador en rumbo de colisión con el FMI, tanto por la compra de Bitcoin como por seguir retrasando una reforma del sistema de pensiones. Una ruptura del programa del FMI socavaría uno de los principales pilares que sostienen la deuda del país, que se había convertido en una de las historias de cambio más destacadas de los mercados emergentes, con un rendimiento de más del 130% en los últimos tres años.

The fall of bitcoin pressures El Salvador's debt and complicates the relationship with the IMF
Nayib Bukele has continued to buy one bitcoin a day even when the latest defeat wiped out hundreds of millions of dollars from
The crash of bitcoin (XBTUSD) has hit few places as hard as El Salvador, exposing the risks of President Nayib Bukele's risky bet on cryptocurrencies and battering the country's debt markets.

Bukele, a fervent advocate who made the token legal tender alongside the dollar, has continued to buy one Bitcoin a day even when the latest defeat wiped out hundreds of millions of dollars from government holdings and complicated talks with the International Monetary Fund about a loan of US$1.4 billion.

The focus is now reaching him in the financial markets, where investors have pushed credit default swaps to their highest level in five months, signaling growing discomfort with the country's crypto-heavy strategy. Dollar bonds were the hardest hit in emerging markets last week, before trimming those losses amid a broad rebound in developing country debt.

The founder of Bitfury, Val Vavilov, considers the recent fall of the cryptocurrency market as an opportunity to increase his Bitcoin holdings at lower prices.

The 46-year-old Latvian billionaire, who has turned Bitfury into a major player in the industry over 15 years by designing hardware for Bitcoin mining, confirmed that he has been buying Bitcoin during the recent price drop, according to a Bloomberg News report.

"For us, the fall of Bitcoin is an opportunity to rebalance our portfolio and buy a certain amount of Bitcoin at a low price," Vavilov said in his statements via WhatsApp, although he did not disclose the specific amounts acquired.

Bitcoin fell below $67,000 during Asian trading hours on Wednesday, reaching its lowest level since the market sell-off on Friday. The cryptocurrency has dropped more than 50% from its October peak, causing significant losses for retail investors and raising concerns among long-time supporters.

While Michael Burry, known for his successful bet against the U.S. housing market before the financial crisis of 2008, has warned that the fall of Bitcoin could worsen into a "death spiral," some data indicates that large cryptocurrency holders may be buying again.$BTC #CZAMAonBinanceSquare

Bitcoin lags behind... but it can recover: “Sooner or later it will have to react”

“the financial system, the monetary system, is broken” and whether “this can be fixed or not.” It notes that the S&P 500 marks “a new all-time high above 7,000,” while gold is “above 5,270 dollars.” Bitcoin is “the only one that is short in the short term,” although it believes that, with liquidity rising, “sooner or later it will have to react.”

It cites Ken Griffin's statements in Davos, who states that the main global risk is “the reckless public spending of the United States” and that the damage to the system is “irreparable.” The expert emphasizes that, despite occasional drops, the S&P 500 has suffered “31 drops greater than 5% since 2009” and has always returned to highs, due to “monetary degradation” and “fiscal irresponsibility.”

He states that “there are no solutions” and that “it is already late” to fix the system. The only hope would be “the increase in productivity that artificial intelligence can bring,” although he acknowledges that “at the moment it is not happening.” If it were to occur, it would allow GDP to grow, reduce the debt/GDP ratio, and the deficit.
He denies that there is a bubble in artificial intelligence and argues that “we must continue investing,” especially in the West to compete with China. However, he warns that if artificial intelligence remains “in the hands of the big players,” it will cause “a very unequal distribution of wealth.” He concludes that, even though there may be corrections, stocks and gold will continue to rise because “politicians will keep degrading the currency,” and that we can only wait for Bitcoin to “be liberalized and manage to rise.”$BTC

Bitcoin falls to two-month lows following the nomination of Kevin Warsh to the Fed
Bitcoin remained close to two-month lows following the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next president of the Fed, in a context of risk aversion and strengthening of the dollar.
Bitcoin (XBT) remained near two-month lows on Friday after Donald Trump appointed Kevin Warsh as the next president of the Federal Reserve, a choice that did little to improve confidence in a market already under pressure from persistent ETF outflows.

The token fell by 4%, to US$81,045, its lowest level since November, before reducing its losses to about US$82,600. Warsh, former governor of the Federal Reserve, is considered a strong advocate for digital assets, but less outspoken than Rick Rieder of BlackRock (BLK), whose rising odds had generated hopes for a more moderate and pro-cryptocurrency stance at the central bank.
Instead, a tone of risk aversion dominated the markets as news of Warsh circulated: stock futures fluctuated and the dollar strengthened from its four-year lows.

With Bitcoin now more than 34% below its October high, and U.S. spot ETFs on track for their longest stretch of monthly outflows since their launch, traders do not seem convinced that macroeconomic or political signals will provide significant relief in the short term.$BTC

Tether launches USAT, a federally regulated stablecoin for the U.S. market.
Tether, the world's largest digital asset company by circulation of stablecoins, announced on Tuesday the official launch of USAT, a federally regulated stablecoin backed by dollars specifically designed for use in the United States under the recently enacted GENIUS Act.
USAT is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., a federally chartered U.S. bank and one of the first institutions approved to issue payment stablecoins under the new law, Tether said.#USDT
The launch marks Tether's first stablecoin built to operate fully within the regulated financial system of the U.S., following years of regulatory scrutiny surrounding dollar tokens issued abroad.
$ETH #CZAMAonBinanceSquare The debut follows the company's announcement late last year detailing the token design and naming former White House Crypto Council executive director Bo Hines as CEO of Tether USAT. With Tuesday's launch, USAT is now available for U.S. users looking for a dollar-backed token that complies with federal banking and stablecoin regulations.#USPPIJump

The crypto market has entered a phase of structural growth and has definitively left behind the stage of disorderly adoption.

In 2025, the number of global cryptocurrency users reached 741 million, which implies a 12% year-on-year increase.

The number is impressive, but what is truly relevant is the change in the composition of growth: Bitcoin remains the axis of the system, although the dynamism is now on the side of Ethereum.

During the last year, the asset added users at a rate of 8.3%, reaching about 365 million holders. It concentrates almost half of the crypto investors globally and maintains its dominant role within the ecosystem.

Moreover, a trend that had been developing is confirmed. Bitcoin has ceased to be the main engine for the incorporation of new users. Its role today is different.

The growth of BTC is increasingly associated with institutional and political decisions, rather than retail adoption.

The Bitcoin rival that is growing in adoption.

The contrast appears with Ethereum. In 2025, the network showed a 22.6% year-on-year growth, bringing the user base to 175 million, almost three times the expansion rate of Bitcoin.

Ethereum has consolidated itself as the financial infrastructure of the crypto world. The main decentralized finance applications, the issuance of stablecoins, real asset tokenization projects, and the crypto treasury strategies of companies that are starting to incorporate digital assets structurally rely on its network.

The 5 main cryptocurrency investment trends to watch in 2026

WISDOMTREE OPINION
The 5 main cryptocurrency investment trends to watch in 2026
Updated: 19-01-2026, 12:36:00
Dovile Silenskyte, - Director, Digital Assets Research, - WisdomTree
In 2026, the focus will not be on the survival of cryptocurrencies, but on their role in portfolios.

To a large extent, the speculative excesses of the early cycles have disappeared. What remains is infrastructure, regulation, and capital discipline. The center of gravity of cryptocurrencies is decisively shifting from retail experimentation to institutional investment in cryptocurrencies.

For professional investors, the relevant question is no longer whether cryptocurrencies are part of portfolios, but what role they play within them.

Here, we highlight five cryptocurrency investment trends that will define the markets in 2026 and why they are important for asset allocation, risk management, and portfolio creation.

1. Bitcoin becomes a strategic macro allocation rather than a tactical investment
The 2024-2025 phase of Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) focused on access. The year 2026 will focus on its role in the portfolio.

Physically-backed Bitcoin ETPs have firmly integrated Bitcoin into the infrastructure of the institutional market. At the same time, macroeconomic conditions remain structurally favorable. The growing fiscal predominance, the persistence of high sovereign debt burdens, and the current geopolitical fragmentation continue to reinforce the demand for non-sovereign monetary assets.

What to invest in today: 4 Bitcoin rivals that could rise by up to 25%
The crypto market kicks off 2026 with a fragmented scenario. Bitcoin retains control of capital flow, liquidity remains tight, and most altcoins are far from their historical highs.
However, beneath that surface, selective signals are emerging that some investors and analysts already interpret as the prelude to a new cycle.
4 Bitcoin rivals that could rise by up to 25%
With Bitcoin at the forefront and liquidity still limited, some altcoins are showing their own signals that investors are closely monitoring ahead of 2026

New year, new coins: Bitcoin rivals that could rise by up to 25% in 2026
Digital Economy
The crypto market kicks off 2026 with a fragmented scenario. Bitcoin retains control of capital flow, liquidity remains tight, and most altcoins are far from their historical highs.
However, beneath that surface, selective signals are emerging that some investors and analysts already interpret as the prelude to a new cycle.
The dominance of the leading digital currency hovers around 59% and the Altcoin Season Index moves close to 37 points. These are data points that confirm a clear preference for BTC, but also leave space for tactical movements in projects with their own narratives, solid fundamentals, or specific catalysts.
In this context, this year is shaping up as a more realistic window for a sustained rise of altcoins, although not in a generalized manner.
The Bitcoin rivals that could rise
The start of January appears as a key moment for the short term. Analysts detect a possible weakness in Bitcoin's dominance, with graphical configurations that in the past enabled temporary rebounds of altcoins.
The date that several operators are watching is the first half of the month, when BTC's resistance would shift towards the area of u$s96.000. "If the price of Bitcoin rises while its dominance declines, the market could enable a mini altseason.

GREETINGS and HAPPY START OF YEAR 2026

The risk of a correction in the technology and bitcoin market
The high valuation of technology, driven by the AI narrative, exposes the market to an abrupt correction if the results are not as expected.
Muvdi is emphatic in pointing out that “any small mistake, any minor situation that NVIDIA shows in its negative earnings could generate a brutal, extremely strong drop in NVIDIA, and that would greatly drag down the stock indices and, consequently, bitcoin.”

The implications of a potential correction of NVIDIA could be severe for bitcoin. The analyst warns that if there is “a breakdown of artificial intelligence, and the indices drop 20%, bitcoin could drop 40%.”

This risk scenario coincides with the recent weakness of the digital asset. BTC has experienced a significant drop since the beginning of October, losing more than 25% since its peak in October 2025, which was above $126,000. Yesterday, November 18, bitcoin hit a seven-month low below $90,000, erasing all its gains for the year and leaving its annual performance at -2.10%.
Muvdi considers that the correlation between the digital asset and the risk markets is undeniable: “Bitcoin is not a refuge and will fall; it has been falling with the risk market. In fact, bitcoin is anticipating a stronger drop in the indices.
However, this volatility is not a total surprise.#BTC90kBreakingPoint

Rise of USDT in the country: how to use it correctly through Venezuelan banking?
Major cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance are becoming increasingly present in the global market
The stablecoin Tether (USDT) has solidified its position as a financial tool increasingly used in Venezuela. Its constant parity of 1 to 1 with the US dollar has made this cryptocurrency a more common method for exchange and payment across various sectors.
USDT is a "stablecoin" whose value is backed by reserves (mainly US Treasury bonds and cash, audited by firms like BDO), which guarantees its stability against the volatility of other cryptocurrencies. This characteristic of stability makes it functionally equivalent to the dollar in everyday transactions.
Steps to correctly use USDT in Venezuela
The cryptocurrency ecosystem in Venezuela is robust, and its use is legally recognized. To start using USDT and take advantage of its benefits, follow these practical steps:
1. Open an Account on a Dominant Exchange
The quickest and safest way to obtain USDT is through an exchange platform. Binance is one of the leaders, offering a P2P (Peer-to-Peer) market where you can buy USDT directly from other users using Bolívares (VES) through bank transfers or Mobile Payment.
2. Acquire the Stable Cryptocurrency
P2P Trading: Select the option to buy USDT, choose your preferred payment method (transfer, Mobile Payment), and specify the amount in Bolívares. It is important to note that the process must be conducted only with a personal account.
minutes.
3. Train to take advantage of exchanges
Store of Value: Keeping funds in USDT protects capital as it is a stable currency.

Payments and Purchases: USDT can be used in businesses that accept it.

The Czech National Bank buys bitcoin for the first time in its history
The Czech Republic is taking its first step in the purchase of bitcoin and stablecoins, although for now it is doing so for experimental purposes.
The Czech National Bank (CNB) took an unprecedented step by acquiring digital assets for the first time, in a transaction valued at one million dollars. According to the entity, the objective of the project is to gain practical experience with technologies based on cryptocurrencies and to evaluate their possible role within the country's financial system.

The bank explained that the investment was made outside of its international reserves and that it does not seek to obtain profitability, but rather to test the technical and regulatory processes associated with the management of crypto assets. The test portfolio includes bitcoin, a stablecoin backed by dollars, and a tokenized deposit, which will allow for the comparison of the behavior and characteristics of different types of assets. According to the governor of the entity, Aleš Michl, the initiative began in early 2025 as part of a strategy to study bitcoin from the perspective of a central bank.

Over time, the project expanded to encompass other forms of digital money, with the aim of analyzing the future of payments and the tokenization of financial assets. "We want to be prepared for the changes that the digitalization of the economy will bring," said Michl.

Furthermore, the official clarified that the Czech koruna will remain the only legal tender in the country and that the bank will continue to focus on maintaining price stability. However, he emphasized that in the coming years, new ways of investing and paying will emerge, and he does not rule out that citizens may acquire tokenized Czech bonds with the same ease as they currently make everyday purchases.

The CNB specified that the limited size of this bitcoin and cryptocurrency portfolio avoids any impact on its monetary policy or its ability to intervene in the foreign exchange market.#Binanceholdermmt
