В конце июля 2024 года в Венесуэле вспыхнули протесты на почве итогов президентских выборов. Оппозиция заявила о фальсификациях со стороны Единой социалистической партии с Николасом Мадуро во главе. Последнего объявили победителем еще до завершения подсчета голосов.

Мария Корина Мачадо представляет партию Vente Venezuela и поддерживает оппозиционное большинство. По данным прессы, она долгое время скрывалась на территории страны, опасаясь ареста.

В интервью для Гладштейна она прокомментировала политику правящей партии, свое отношение к криптоактивам и то, какую роль они могут сыграть в дальнейшем восстановлении Венесуэлы.

Политик обвинила бывшего президента страны Уго Чавеса и действующего главу государства Николаса Мадуро в обесценивании боливара. Мачадо считает, что именно их действия привели к гиперинфляции.

«Эта финансовая репрессия, основанная на спонсируемом государством грабеже, воровстве и бесконтрольном печатании денег, парализовала экономику», — подчеркнула она.

Политик считает, что биткоин стал не просто финансовым инструментом, но настоящим «спасательным кругом»:

«Биткоин помогает обойти установленные правительством ограничения, обменные курсы множеству людей. Из гуманитарного инструмента он превратился в важное средство сопротивления».

По словам Мачадо, оппозиция рассматривает возможность использования биткоина в качестве национального резерва. Политик назвала его важной частью плана восстановления Венесуэлы в разрезе обеспечения прозрачности, прав собственности и поддержания экономических свобод.

Ранее мы сообщали о том, что в Венесуэле ввели запрет на майнинг криптоактивов из-за перебоев в работе электросети.

Также мы освещали проект местных властей по созданию национальной криптовалюты Petro. Он оказался провальным, столкнулся с критикой и в итоге был закрыт.

Примечательно, Фонд защиты прав человека добавил возможность внести пожертвование в биткоинах в поддержку оппозиции Венесуэлы. Организация подчеркнула, что 100% взносов передаст местным активистам.

Hot Takes｜Why Did the Famous "Tech Lead" Dump All His Bitcoin? The "Investment Whiz Kid" is Here!

**Weekly Spicy Review: Tech Lead's Bitcoin Bust, Reddit Meme, and Trump's Crypto Cash** This week's "Spicy Review" covers three notable incidents from the crypto world. **1. A Tech Lead Learns the Hard Way:** A former Google and Meta technical lead, Patrick Shyu, went viral after revealing he was forced to liquidate all his Bitcoin holdings. He suffered massive losses due to excessive leverage during Bitcoin's sharp decline from $120k to $60k. He shared critical observations: crypto trading often hinges on attention, not fundamentals; Bitcoin lacks a stable source of public focus; the AI boom is diverting capital; and Bitcoin faces structural risks like centralization of code maintenance and quantum computing threats. Despite his short-term exit, he remains a long-term believer. **2. Reddit Roasts the "Investment Whiz":** A popular meme on Reddit's CryptoCurrency subreddit depicted MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor looking down from a balcony. The caption joked about his relentless focus on buying Bitcoin with corporate funds, contrasting with average investors' mundane concerns. The post sparked humorous commentary on his high-risk, high-conviction strategy. **3. Trump's $1.4 Billion Crypto Haul:** The White House's financial disclosure revealed former President Donald Trump earned at least $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency activities in a year, contributing to a total income of over $2.2 billion. This windfall stands in stark contrast to the performance of "TrumpCoin" (officially DJT), which plummeted over 97% from its peak, reportedly causing investor losses exceeding $2 billion. Critics, like California Governor Gavin Newsom, accused Trump of profiting while his supporters suffered losses. The week highlighted a mix of painful lessons learned from leverage, community humor at industry figures, and the stark realities of political figures capitalizing on the crypto market.

From SpaceX to trade invoices: Here’s how tokenization is changing how the world moves money

Tokenization is reshaping global finance by enabling real-time, seamless movement of assets, much like instant messaging. While traditional markets involve delays—like waiting for stock settlement—tokenized assets on blockchains allow trading anytime, settle in seconds, and increase accessibility through fractional ownership. The trend gained momentum with SpaceX's landmark IPO, as platforms began offering tokenized exposure to major equities. Beyond stocks, private credit, real estate, and commodities are moving on-chain, representing trillions in value. Scaling tokenization requires infrastructure with predictable fees, deterministic settlement, and regulatory compliance—capabilities offered by networks like XDC Network, which has processed over $1.1 billion in tokenized assets. Projections suggest the tokenized asset market could reach $18.9 trillion to $30 trillion by the mid-2030s, driven by regulatory support in regions like Brazil, the EU, and the U.S. The focus has shifted from whether tokenization is permitted to how quickly it can scale, underpinned by years of behind-the-scenes infrastructure development that will define the next decade of finance.

Bitcoin miner Riot’s 500 BTC transfer sparks sell-off fears – Correction possible IF…

Riot Platforms transferred 500 BTC (approx. $30.7M) to NYDIG Custody, sparking sell-off speculation. However, this movement alone does not confirm a sale, as it could be routine treasury management. The company's Bitcoin reserves have decreased from 19,368 BTC at the end of 2025 to 15,680 BTC, following sales earlier in 2026. This trend is mirrored by other major miners like Hut 8, Mara Holdings, and Core Scientific, who have also reduced their BTC holdings. The article links these reserve adjustments to changing mining dynamics in 2026. After a profitable late-2025 period, Bitcoin's price drop from over $120,000 to around $65,000, combined with high network hashrate and mining difficulty, created a financial squeeze. This has led to less efficient miners shutting down equipment and financially stable firms actively managing their Bitcoin reserves rather than simply holding them. The overall network hashrate has declined from its peak, putting constant pressure on mining profitability.

Breaking: Alibaba Bans Claude Entirely, Mandatory Uninstallation Effective July 10th

Alibaba has issued an internal notice to completely ban the use of Claude and all other Anthropic products, effective July 10. The decision follows the discovery of a covert user detection mechanism in Claude Code, starting from version 2.1.91 released in April 2026. The mechanism reportedly operated in three steps: secretly identifying users in China by checking system time zones and proxy/API addresses for keywords related to major Chinese tech and AI firms; silently tagging these users by subtly altering date formats and characters in system prompts to encode status information; and transmitting this modified data back to Anthropic's servers with normal requests. This code was intentionally obfuscated and not mentioned in update logs. Anthropic has acknowledged this "experimental" feature and claims to have removed it in a July 2 update. However, the breach of trust, coupled with a recent wave of account bans for Chinese users—often without refunds—prompted Alibaba's decisive action. The company will promote its self-developed Qoder as an alternative. This move signifies a major shift for Chinese tech giants, from actively adopting powerful external AI tools to prioritizing security and control over core business operations.

How Far Are We from the End of the Crypto Bear Market?

How Much Longer Until the Crypto Bear Market Ends? A persistent negative Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index, reaching a record 46 consecutive days of negative values, underscores the ongoing crypto bear market. The downturn accelerated in late May/early June when MicroStrategy (referred to as "Strategy" in the text), a major BTC holder, sold a small amount of Bitcoin (32 BTC), shattering market confidence and triggering sharp declines in BTC, ETH, and SOL. This was compounded by sustained net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. June saw Bitcoin briefly fall below $60,000, its worst weekly performance since 2022, breaking below the critical 200-week moving average—a signal some analysts consider confirmation of a bear market. While some institutional analyses in mid-June suggested the bottom might be near (e.g., around $53,600 based on realized price, or a potential end during the 2026 World Cup summer), further price drops quickly disproved these optimistic forecasts. Key bear market indicators include: the severe de-pegging of MicroStrategy's preferred shares (STRC) from their $100 NAV, which later recovered partly due to company stabilization plans; a record number of BTC (over 10.83 million) and a significant portion of long-term ETH holders now in unrealized loss; and Bitcoin's price trading below its 200-week moving average. Predictions for the bear market's end vary. Some, like investor Yilihua, suggest July-August 2026 could present a final buying opportunity. Others, like miner Jiang Zhu'o'er, predict a bottom between $42,000-$44,000 in October-December 2026, based on the historical lag between MicroStrategy's mNAV ratio bottom and Bitcoin's price bottom. Technical indicators like the BTC 4-year average price index dipped briefly below 1, and the Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, suggesting a need for a price rebound to around $77,000 for a return to positive territory. In the absence of major external catalysts, the consensus leans toward the bear market persisting for another 2-3 months, with late September to early October 2026 being a potential turning point window.
