Venezuela had huge potential to become a crypto hub, but the activities of the last few days have shown the country is in need of a revamp of its system. Crypto enthusiasts in the nation have woken up to uncomfortable news since President Nicolas Maduro ordered the arrest of Venezuela’s Superintendent of Cryptoassets, Joselit Ramirez, and the restructuring of the nation’s crypto regulatory body.

Venezuela’s Nationale Superintendency of Cryptoassets, or “Sunacrip,” announced die Schließung of all crypto exchanges registered in the country due to concerns about the poor state of Venezuela’s crypto economy.

While there’s yet to be an official confirmation, Venezuela’s National Association of Cryptocurrencies told media sources that the shutdown of exchanges is happening as Venezuela continues its anti-corruption investigation that has so far implicated Joselit Ramirez and Tareck el Aissami, the Minister of Energy and Petroleum, who serves as his political ally.

Jose Angel Alvarez, Präsident von Asonacrip, sagte in einem Interview:

Wir glauben, dass private Unternehmen nicht für das verantwortlich gemacht werden sollten, was innerhalb der Regulierungsbehörde passiert, und dass wir die vollständige Aktivierung aller Kryptowährungsoperationen (in Venezuela) fördern sollten.

Venezuela could be set for drastic changes in terms of its relationship with cryptocurrencies. Recent events are a far cry from the previous interest the country had in crypto assets. President Maduro previously promoted cryptocurrencies as instruments to revitalize the country’s economy.

Interestingly, the Venezuelan government went ahead to legalize cryptocurrencies, develop Petro, its own cryptocurrency, and formalize the registration of cryptocurrency exchanges. However, the country’s interest in crypto only aided corruption at higher levels.

Dies ist eine sich entwickelnde Geschichte und wird aktualisiert, um aktuelle Ereignisse einzubeziehen.
