BITCOIN RISES ON U.S. ACTIONS IN VENEZUELA Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies gained Monday as traders reacted to the U.S. ousting of Venezuelan President Maduro. Speculation over possible seizure of Venezuela’s crypto—reportedly over 600,000 bitcoins—could reduce supply and boost prices, said TP ICAP’s Hina Sattar Joshi. Bitcoin rose 1.6% to $92,730, hitting a near four-week high, while Ether climbed 0.5% to $3,158. The market also benefited from global stock gains and PwC expanding its crypto advisory services amid clearer U.S. stablecoin regulations. Analysts caution the crypto rebound may not be complete, with Bitcoin still well below its October record of $126,223.(*Walter Bloomberg)
