Bitcoin and Crypto Markets Surge Amid US Intervention in Venezuela, Oil Price Shock Looms

The arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces has led to a significant increase in the Bitcoin and crypto market, with a near 5% rise in Bitcoin's price and a $100 billion gain in the broader crypto market. Analysts speculate that the potential oil price shock of $17.3 trillion could lead to lower inflation rates and destabilize the U.S. dollar, creating a favorable environment for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
