According to @KobeissiLetter, Venezuela’s Caracas Stock Exchange ended the session nearly 17% higher as traders reacted to reports that the US captured President Nicolás Maduro, triggering a headline-driven rally in local equities (source: @KobeissiLetter, Jan 5, 2026). The source attributes the surge to that report and does not cite any immediate impact on major cryptocurrencies such as BTC or ETH (source: @KobeissiLetter, Jan 5, 2026).
