Since January 7, the price of the stablecoin $USDT in #venezuela has decreased by approximately 40%, returning to the levels of December 2025. This decrease has been observed in P2P markets and local platforms.
Stability of USDT: It is important to remember that USDT is a stablecoin designed to maintain a value of 1 to 1 with the US dollar.
P2P Market in Venezuela: The market #P2P in Venezuela is dynamic and rates can vary significantly among different advertisers and payment methods.
Possible causes of the drop: Although a single cause is not specified, the 40% drop in the price of USDT in the Venezuelan P2P market could be linked to "better expectations" in the economy or with the local currency, which could reduce the demand for USDT as a store of value.
Understand that USDT aims to be stable against #USD , not against #VES :
Although USDT is designed to maintain its value against the US dollar, fluctuations in the Bolívar market can cause the buying and selling price of USDT in VES to vary. This is due to the economic dynamics of Venezuela itself and not to any instability of USDT itself.
