#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 The U.S. Department of Energy's move this time has directly "clarified" the game of Venezuelan oil sales—by collaborating with top global commodity traders and financial institutions to directly participate in the circulation of crude oil and refined products.



How is it done? Industry veterans like Glencore and Vitol are brought in to handle trading channels and logistics, while top banks provide financing and settlement support. The key point is that all sales revenue must go into a designated account under U.S. supervision—equivalent to installing a real-time monitoring system on this transaction, keeping track of every dollar flow.

Why is this so important?

From an energy market perspective, Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves, but production has been declining sharply in recent years—from over 3 million barrels per day at its peak to less than 800,000 barrels. If this sale restart achieves scale, it could release hundreds of thousands of barrels per day into the international market in the short term. The impact on oil price fluctuations? Direct.

Looking deeper: by controlling sales channels and fund flows, this move not only influences the global crude oil supply pattern but also can have a critical impact on a country's economic lifeline. This is not purely commercial; it is heavily flavored with geopolitical and energy strategic considerations.

For traders, what does this mean? Oil price expectations may need to be reassessed, liquidity in the energy sector could change, and the influence over commodity pricing power may further concentrate. Fluctuations in international oil prices often propagate to risk asset allocations in the crypto market—after all, institutional and fund asset allocations are interconnected.

So, the question is: what do you think? Is this the U.S. stabilizing energy supply, or is it reconstructing the geopolitical economic landscape through oil trade? Where will this money ultimately flow? How will the trading markets react in the future?

Hey, once the capital flow is locked, what suspense is there left for oil prices? It should have been clear long ago. --- Cutting off the throat directly, this move is ruthless enough. --- So ultimately, whoever controls the settlement rights makes the rules. The logic in the crypto world has long been understood. --- Wait, isn't this logic essentially the same as freezing accounts for stablecoins? Just a different name. --- Releasing hundreds of thousands of barrels into the market, will Bitcoin follow suit and adjust? Institutional capital allocation is indeed not independent... --- Real-time monitoring system? Sounds like a financial sanctions tool from some country. --- Good question, but the answer is already written on the chain. Let's wait and see the trading volume.

Basically, the US is writing the script. The Venezuela oil issue has been a long-term game. When oil prices move, cryptocurrencies have to follow suit. This time, it all depends on the macroeconomic situation.

It's the same old game again: controlling liquidity, controlling pricing power, and ultimately controlling the narrative.

Ah... it's the same old story. Controlling the flow of funds means controlling the entire situation.

It's the same old trick again, controlling channels and funds. In plain terms, it's about dominating the narrative.

A typical financial strangulation... capital flow is completely controlled, and when oil prices move, the crypto market trembles accordingly.

All monitored in US accounts, this is just a different guise of dollar dominance, directly holding the financial flow.
