Newswire) a go-to platform for big investing ideas, including crypto
and bitcoin stocks issues market commentary from deVere Group.
The crisis in Venezuela is pushing Bitcoin higher and is likely to
serve as a broader price catalyst, affirms the CEO of one of the
world’s largest independent financial advisory organisations.
The comments from Nigel Green of deVere Group follow
Washington’s actions that have sharply intensified political and
financial pressure on Caracas, reigniting concerns over sanctions
risk, capital controls, and regional and geopolitical instability.
In the aftermath of the strikes, Bitcoin has risen by around 6%,
underlining how quickly geopolitical developments are now being priced
into digital markets.
“Events in Venezuela have once again underscored a fundamental
truth about today’s markets: political risk is now priced not
just in equities and bonds, but in digital assets as well,”
says Nigel Green, chief executive of deVere Group.
“When geopolitical tensions increase and questions arise about
sanctions, capital controls, or currency stability, investors
instinctively seek assets that are portable, liquid, and free of any
single government’s control. Bitcoin is increasingly
fulfilling that role.”
Bitcoin’s rally has taken the world’s largest
cryptocurrency back into the $92,000–$94,000 range, levels last
seen in mid-December, as investors reassess global risk exposure.
The move has outpaced many traditional safe-haven assets, highlighting
how digital markets are becoming a primary venue for expressing views
on geopolitical uncertainty.
“The speed and scale of the reaction in crypto markets —
particularly Bitcoin — highlights how this asset class has
matured,” he continues.
“Unlike stocks or bonds, which trade only during set hours,
Bitcoin’s 24/7 market structure allows investors to respond in
real time to geopolitical shocks. This makes Bitcoin not just a
speculative instrument, but a dynamic tool in capital allocation
when political uncertainty spikes.”
Venezuela remains one of the clearest real-world examples of how
political and economic stress drives the adoption of alternative
financial infrastructure.
Years of inflation, currency restrictions, and limited access to
international banking have pushed millions of Venezuelans toward
digital assets for everyday financial use.
Each new phase of political tension reinforces that behavior, not only
domestically but across the region, as neighbouring economies monitor
the spillover risks.
Recent data show that Venezuela continues to rank among the most
crypto-active countries globally on a per-capita basis.
Peer-to-peer crypto volumes and stablecoin usage have surged in recent
years as citizens seek alternatives to the bolívar and to
restricted access to foreign currency.
Industry estimates suggest that cumulative crypto transaction volumes
linked to Venezuela have reached into the tens of billions of dollars
over the past few years, reflecting a deep and structural shift in
financial behaviour.
“What began in Venezuela as a grassroots response to economic
hardship is now being recognised by global investors for the same
reasons,” says the deVere CEO.
“Independence from central banks, resistance to censorship,
and global liquidity are no longer niche attributes. They’re
increasingly viewed as essential features in a world where
geopolitical risk is becoming more persistent.”
The Venezuela situation is also resonating with international markets
because it highlights how quickly political developments can disrupt
traditional financial channels.
The ongoing use of sanctions as a foreign-policy tool, combined with
the risk of sudden regulatory or banking restrictions, is reshaping
how companies and individuals think about capital mobility.
This is where Bitcoin’s always-open market structure is becoming
increasingly relevant. Unlike equities, bonds, or commodities, Bitcoin
trades continuously, allowing investors to reposition immediately when
major news breaks.
As a result, digital asset markets are increasingly acting as a
real-time barometer of geopolitical risk.
“Bitcoin has become one of the first places investors go to
express a view on global uncertainty,” notes Nigel Green.
“That was visible again after the latest developments around
Venezuela. While traditional markets were still digesting the
implications, crypto markets were already repricing risk.”
Beyond the immediate price move, the situation highlights a deeper
shift in how portfolios are being constructed. Bitcoin is no longer
viewed solely through a speculative lens. Institutional investors,
family offices, and wealth managers are increasingly assessing it as a
strategic allocation that can perform when confidence in political
stability and financial infrastructure weakens.
“Gold has long been the classic hedge against political risk.
“Bitcoin is increasingly being discussed in the same breath,
especially by a new generation of investors who are comfortable with
digital assets and somewhat more sceptical of centralized
systems.”
Looking ahead, deVere expects geopolitical risk to remain a defining
feature of markets through the year. With sanctions regimes expanding,
trade relationships under strain, and political flashpoints
multiplying, demand for assets that operate outside traditional
financial structures is unlikely to fade.
“The implications of Venezuela go far beyond one country,”
Nigel Green concludes.
“They speak to a world where political risk is becoming more
persistent and more unpredictable.
“Bitcoin has already benefited from this shift, as the recent
price action shows, and it is likely to remain a key beneficiary as
investors continue to rethink how they protect and position their
capital.”
