Continuing with my recap for this week. For the Venezuelan Crypto Market, we found the following.

This week, the USDT exchange rate in the parallel or P2P market showed a relatively stable behavior with slight upward pressure.
1.- Controlled Gap: Despite the fact that historically, payday weeks usually generate a spike in demand for USDT (people exchanging their bolívares to safeguard their value), the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) maintained a strong currency intervention strategy by injecting foreign currency into the national banking system. This helped keep the official dollar contained, which in turn mitigates sharp jumps in the P2P market.
2.- Weekend Dynamics: Towards the close of these last few days, the USDT in bolívares experienced the typical slight increase seen on weekends, when traditional banks are closed and the P2P market becomes the only quick escape route for transactions and value preservation.
3.- Commercial Adoption and the "Change Effect". A phenomenon that has solidified strongly this week in major cities (Caracas, Valencia, Maracaibo, Barquisimeto, and the Eastern region) is the use of USDT for direct commercial payments. Due to the chronic scarcity of physical low-denomination bills in traditional dollars (the infamous $1, $5, or $10 bills that are torn or scratched and nobody wants to take), USDT is being massively used to give "change" or pay exact amounts in medium and large businesses. This keeps the local transactional volume sky-high, regardless of whether Bitcoin's price goes up or down.
4.- To wrap up: In summary, USDT in Venezuela remains the king of transactions and the shield against inflation. For the coming days, the ideal strategy is to monitor the flow of bolívares at the end of the month to catch the best rates possible in the P2P if you need to move capital.
Cheers and until my next write-up.
