Venezuelan activists and policy analysts are calling for tougher sanctions and investigations into how President Nicolás Maduro’s government is using cryptocurrencies to get around international restrictions. Allegations have been made that the government is seeking ways to circumnavigate these sanctions through crypto transactions. Observers warn that Venezuela is likely to continue using cryptocurrencies to bypass any new set of sanctions imposed. The calls for action were highlighted via @bpolitics and @mapamijares.
