Giełdy kryptowalut są zamknięte w Wenezueli

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 Krajowy Nadzór Kryptowalutowy, or “Sunacrip,” announced zamknięcie 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, prezes Asonacrip, powiedział w wywiadzie:

Uważamy, że nie należy obwiniać prywatnych firm za to, co dzieje się wewnątrz organu regulacyjnego, i że powinniśmy promować pełną aktywację wszystkich operacji kryptowalutowych (w Wenezueli).

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.

To jest rozwijająca się historia i zostanie zaktualizowana o ostatnie wydarzenia.
