Bitcoin Surges as U.S. Delays MSCI Delisting Decision

U.S. Market Updates

President Trump has indicated that oil prices will continue to decline, emphasizing its importance in battling inflation. At the time of writing, the U.S. Energy Secretary was speaking about the ongoing process concerning Venezuelan oil, which is progressing rapidly. This optimism supports a drop in oil prices, aiding the U.S. economy. A meeting is set for Friday between Trump and U.S. oil company executives, in line with the President’s earlier announcement to lower prices.

Key points from the Energy Secretary’s statements include:

“The U.S. government seeks to sell Venezuelan oil and deposit the proceeds into American-controlled accounts. We aim to create conditions for U.S. oil companies to enter Venezuela.”

The U.S. plans to sell Venezuelan oil in the global market, keeping the revenue within its control. Wright implies that by overseeing these oil sales, America is subtly expanding its influence.

Trump announced that Venezuela will deliver 50 million barrels of oil to the U.S., valued at approximately $2.8 billion at current market rates. He mentioned that the sale would benefit both countries.

Cryptocurrencies and Future Prospects

With Venezuelan oil production under U.S. management, daily output is expected to increase by hundreds of thousands of barrels in the short term. This surplus may lower oil prices, putting pressure on inflation. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan populace is unhappy with the exploitation of their resources amidst widespread poverty.

At 18:00（UTC+8）, the JOLTS data will be released, offering significant insights into the U.S. job supply. Simultaneously, ISM PMI figures will shed light on the current state of the economy, with U.S. factory order reports following closely.

The White House Press Secretary will make announcements at 19:00（UTC+8）, and at 22:30（UTC+8）, Trump will sign new executive orders. After the market closes in the U.S., Bowman will participate in a Q&A session. Although it is not an incredibly busy day for cryptocurrencies, fluctuations based on reports are possible. The formal announcement of Venezuela’s exploitation’s outcomes will unfold over time.

BTC and other cryptocurrencies currently find themselves in negative territory. The upcoming tariff decision on Friday could be a turning point for the tariffs that have been impacting us since 2025. Investor caution is reasonable with potential significant drops in prices being a positive sign. Meanwhile, BTC is back on the trend line.
