The U.S. arrest of the Venezuelan president did not affect Bitcoin prices, but experts warn that the market may experience turbulence on Monday.

Crypto界网 January 4 News, according to DL News reports, the United States arrested Venezuelan President Maduro yesterday. The impact on Bitcoin prices was minimal, with some experts stating that Washington’s move will not harm the crypto market. MN Fund founder Michaël van de Poppe said on X platform that he did not foresee “Venezuela attack incident triggering a broad Bitcoin correction,” and also called it a long-planned, coordinated attack against Maduro, which is now in the past. However, some are concerned that the situation may change after the stock and commodity markets open on Monday. Analyst Lennaert Snyder wrote on X platform: “Geopolitical tensions are high, and major players will return to the market next week. Bitcoin volatility may increase after the weekend.” An editorial in India’s Economic Times pointed out that early 2026 will see “strong market intervention” due to geopolitical issues. Riya Sharma, senior digital producer at the newspaper, said that bold US military actions are causing investors to reassess risks. She expects potential turbulence in crude oil, precious metals, currencies, and stock markets when trading resumes on Monday, and market participants also anticipate a decline in oil prices on Monday. She added that increased geopolitical risks usually lead to capital withdrawal from risk assets and a shift to safe-haven assets, and the stock market may not be immune. Given the US’s direct involvement in this conflict, unlike the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Iran conflicts that dominated the market in 2025, Wall Street may exhibit instinctive reactions.
