The reported arrest of Nicolás Maduro in the United States sent shockwaves through global markets beyond its political implications.
Venezuela’s vast oil reserves and long-standing efforts to trade energy outside the dollar have made the country a focal point of financial tension.
Author Robert Kiyosaki argued the episode reflects a broader struggle over monetary control rather than a conventional geopolitical dispute.
Most people think that Iraq, Iran, and Venezuela are a story about oil, but in reality it is a story about China.
Robert Kiyosaki said.
He claimed Venezuela’s oil exports to China through non-dollar channels challenged US financial dominance.
Kiyosaki said modern sanctions increasingly target shipping, insurance, ports and payment systems instead of governments alone.
Today, wars no longer start with bombs, they start with money.
Robert Kiyosaki said.
He drew parallels with past conflicts where alternative currency settlements were perceived as threats to the dollar system.
Bitcoin was highlighted by Kiyosaki as a hedge against what he described as the politicisation of global finance.
He said decentralised digital assets appeal to investors and states marginalised by traditional monetary infrastructure.
Bitcoin surged above $91,000 following the news, reinforcing its role as a barometer during periods of financial uncertainty.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $91,132.56.
