VOICED : El gobierno venezolano reestructura su criptomoneda el petro

The Venezuelan government announced a restructuring of its cryptocurrency, the petro, to evade U.S. financial sanctions. President Nicolás Maduro introduced a new roadmap, establishing a dedicated blockchain for the petro. The cryptocurrency will now be backed not only by the Orinoco oil belt but also by gold, diamonds, iron, and aluminum. Maduro stated that the petro will be exchangeable with other cryptocurrencies and currencies. Despite claims of significant purchase offers, actual transactions on the NEM platform were minimal. Venezuela faces economic challenges, including a drastic drop in oil production and substantial external debt.
