Recently, I heard an interesting story — the U.S. Department of Energy has made a big move this time, teaming up with top global commodity traders and several financial giants to directly participate in the entire chain of Venezuela's oil sales.
What exactly is going on? The U.S. side has enlisted industry leaders like Glencore and Vitol for logistics and channels, with top banks handling trade financing and settlement. The money earned from selling oil flows into specific accounts regulated by the U.S.. It sounds simple, but the implications are profound.
**Three Key Points:**
First, channels and funds form a double guarantee. Top global traders control logistics and buyer resources, while the banking system provides financing services. This combination improves both the efficiency of oil sales and the credit rating.
Second, the flow of funds has become transparent from being a black box. Previously, sales revenue was difficult to track; now, all funds are concentrated in a unified account, like installing GPS — every movement of money can be monitored.
Third, the strategic intent behind this is obvious. By controlling sales channels and the flow of funds, it’s possible to regulate the global crude oil supply rhythm and directly influence related economic lifelines.
**The data looks quite striking:** Venezuela possesses the world's largest oil reserves, but its production has sharply declined in recent years, from over 3 million barrels per day at its peak to below 800,000 barrels today. If this restart is scaled up, it could release hundreds of thousands of barrels per day in the short term, enough to shake international oil prices.
What do you think — is this a market rescue or market manipulation? Where will this revenue ultimately flow? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Damn, this tactic feels like another form of the petrodollar, same old wine in a new bottle.

Basically, the United States is regaining control over the oil and gas supply chain. I've seen this move quite a few times.

It sounds like the US is playing financial Go, controlling oil prices on one hand and capital flows on the other... Can Venezuela turn things around with this combination?

Oh my, this trick is obvious at a glance. The US is just playing financial predation.

To be honest, this set of operations is essentially a financial stranglehold. It sounds lofty and honorable, but in reality, it grips the lifeline of energy.

So, if the oil prices can't stabilize after this series of operations, will the cryptocurrencies we hold be in a good position?

Ah... it's the same old trick from Uncle Sam, just a different soup but the same medicine.
