Comment: Venezuela And Impact On Bitcoin From James Butterfill, Head Of Research At CoinShares

Date 08/01/2026

James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, commented on the recent events in Venezuela and their implications for Bitcoin:

“A decisive shift in Venezuela toward US influence would have indirect but meaningful implications for Bitcoin through energy markets, geopolitics and confidence in the global financial system. Venezuela holds some of the world’s largest proven oil reserves, and a US-backed transition that weakens Russian control via firms such as Rosneft would likely reshape global energy supply expectations. In the near term, this could act as a growth stimulant and place downward pressure on oil prices, reinforcing disinflationary trends and giving central banks more room to ease policy. Easier monetary conditions and improved global liquidity are typically supportive for Bitcoin, even if the immediate impulse comes from traditional macro channels rather than crypto-specific developments."
