Crypto markets add $90 billion in market value as everything turns green despite US-Venezuela tensions

Crypto is roaring green across the board, with total market cap up more than $90 billion in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin is back at $91,336, rising nearly $2,300 since the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

The rally comes despite geopolitical risks heating up. China has demanded Maduro’s release, while Donald Trump confirmed U.S. oil firms will be sent to fix Venezuela’s wrecked energy sector.

From a trading perspective, Polymarket bettors are positioning bullish on Bitcoin. Broader risk appetite looks alive, so we may see U.S. markets open green tomorrow.

On the oil front, OPEC+ is sticking to its Q1 supply freeze, with delegates from Saudi Arabia and Russia meeting Sunday by video. While they say it’s too early to factor in Venezuela, the country’s long-term oil output could soon become a hot topic.

Venezuela sits on the largest oil reserves on earth but pumps less than 1% of global demand. Crude futures fell 18% last year, and analysts are warning of a glut building through 2026, so this could shift fast.
