When the news features the words 'Venezuela', 'oil', and 'USA', most people automatically expect price jumps and another round of sanctions. But the real story is much deeper.
Today, Venezuela is not just a troubled economy. It is a telling example of how the old financial architecture of the world is breaking down.
⚠️ Sanctions as a systemic deadlock
Years of sanction pressure have led Venezuela not to "correction," but to:
paralysis of external settlements,
degradation of national currency,
the destruction of trust in state institutions,
the exit of businesses into gray and semi-legal schemes.
It is important to understand:
sanctions almost never solve economic problems — they only change the form of settlements.
This is where the key question arises:
what happens to the economy when there is money, there are resources, but you can't pay and account?
🧩 The problem is not oil, but settlements
Venezuela has oil.
There is demand.
There is interest from global players.
But there is no sustainable, neutral, and trusted mechanism for fixing obligations and settlements.
The global financial system is still tied to:
controlled currencies,
politically dependent banks,
payment channels that can be turned off at any moment.
And at this moment, it becomes obvious:
an economy without independent accounting infrastructure is not an economy, but a hostage of geopolitics.
🔧 TCP-MARKET approach: economy as a system of obligations
In TCP-MARKET, we view money not as an end in itself, but as a tool for fixing agreements.
Hence the logic of the ecosystem:
TCPcredit — a digital tool for accounting obligations between parties.
It is needed where traditional money struggles: in unstable jurisdictions, cross-border transactions, complex agency models.
TCPcent — the internal settlement unit of the ecosystem, allowing for clearing, balancing, and operational settlements without being tied to a single state or bank.
This is not a replacement for state currencies.
This is a superstructure that allows economic relations to continue to exist even when traditional payment rails break down.
📉 Latin America as a rehearsal for the future
What is happening today in Venezuela and around it can manifest tomorrow:
in other developing countries,
in regions of conflict,
in economies with high debt burdens.
The world is gradually transitioning from:
"who has more money"
to
"who has better infrastructure for accounting and trust."
This is why the interest shifts towards:
Web3,
decentralized settlements,
digital obligations,
alternative financial frameworks.
🔮 Conclusion
Venezuela is not about oil.
This is about the vulnerability of the old financial model.
And the year 2026 is increasingly showing:
surviving and developing will not be those economies with more resources,
and those where the system of settlements, obligations, and trust is better structured.
In TCP-MARKET, we continue to develop the TCPcredit and TCPcent tools precisely with this focus —
to a world where stability is no longer guaranteed,
and focus and structure become the main asset.
