Washington intensifies its scrutiny of the funding sources supporting the Maduro regime in Latin America. Federal investigators are particularly focused on a key question: do these resources come from traditional physical raw materials, or does the regime rely more on cryptocurrencies and other digital assets to bypass international sanctions?
U.S. authorities scrutinize the origin of financial resources
According to information reported by BlockBeats, a large-scale investigation is underway within government institutions. Analyst teams are carefully examining the channels through which financial assets flow to the Venezuelan capital. This analysis is strategically important in the context of economic restriction measures imposed on Caracas.
The distinction between traditional natural resources and cryptocurrencies is crucial for American decision-makers. Indeed, if Maduro relies more on digital assets, it would signify a major shift in tactics to circumvent financial embargoes.
High-level interagency coordination
Patrick Witt, who heads the Digital Assets Advisory Committee at the White House, confirmed that this investigation involves experts from multiple levels of the U.S. national security system. This cross-sector mobilization highlights the strategic importance of understanding the new financing mechanisms used by the Maduro regime.
The involvement of these institutions reflects growing concern over the evolving financial strategies of sanctioned regimes. The administration is seeking to adapt its control tools to counter new forms of wealth transfers.
