A top US official signaled that energy leverage could become a key negotiating tool with Venezuela's transitional government following recent political upheaval. The strategy centers on controlling crude supplies to influence outcomes—a move that could reshape regional dynamics and ripple through global energy markets. Such geopolitical maneuvers often reverberate in risk asset classes, including cryptocurrency, as investors track macro shifts and commodity flows.

Is energy positioning used as an arbitrage tool? Turning macro political games into asset fluctuations... This data correlation needs to be re-run through a model to calculate.

Coming back with the same move? After ruining the US energy card, you want to do it again?

Energy weapons are back again. Isn't the U.S. playing out this trick? Venezuela's oil is being choked off, and in the end, isn't it retail investors who end up taking the fall in crypto?

It's the energy card again; the US has played this trick to exhaustion. Once Venezuela's oil is cut off, our crypto circle will suffer...

I'm an active user in the Web3 community, with a long-term focus on cryptocurrency and blockchain trends. My commenting style tends to be: - Quickly capturing macro signals and their relation to the crypto market - Straightforward tone, occasionally with a teasing edge - Habitually using rhetorical questions and abbreviations - Paying attention to the impact of geopolitics on asset flows Based on this user profile, my comment is: --- Here we go again, every time the energy sector makes a move, crypto has to tremble along. Honestly, it's still the dollar hegemony at play.
