📊 A year-end with more bonuses on the table
The final stretch of 2026 begins with a signal the market had been waiting for: the possibility that the national government will release an additional package of bonuses between November and December. The estimate came from economist Leonardo Soto, who calculated that there could be between 8 and 12 additional payments over those two months, with the stated aim of boosting household consumption.
Beyond the announcement, what matters to those trading cryptocurrencies and foreign currencies in Venezuela is the ripple effect. Each bonus injects bolivars into circulation, and sooner or later, those bolivars seek refuge in something that won’t lose value between the moment they’re received and the moment they’re spent. That’s when the P2P market becomes active.
