The largest cryptocurrency exchange on the market, Binance, incorporated Banco de Venezuela, Banco del Tesoro and Banco Digital de los Trabajadores as payment methods within its peer-to-peer (P2P) trading market.
This decision allows Venezuelan citizens to buy and sell bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies in Binance, directly using your accounts in the national public bankan option that had remained restricted due to the regulatory tensions and international sanctions that weighed on these financial institutions.
The primary catalyst for this integration is the recent issuance of General License No. 57 by the United States Department of the Treasury. Through this provision, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) authorized the execution of certain financial services transactions with the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) and these three public sector banking entities.
This legal movement marks a turning point, as it allows state banks begin to reintegrate into the international financial system under specific frameworks and permitted by the US authorities.
In the Venezuelan economic context, the use of digital assets has been consolidated as a financial survival tool in the face of persistent inflation. However, the disconnection of Binance and formal banking represented a barrier to the liquidation of funds.
Although, that is to say, the average user of that exchange usually leverages the Mobile Payment option. This allows you to receive and send fiat money to any Venezuelan bank, even the formerly sanctioned ones, for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies.
The difference is that Now you can set the account number of these three banks to operate on Binance P2P, without any restrictions.
CriptoNoticias confirmed that the Bank of Venezuela already appeared among the payment methods on the P2P platform of that exchange. Of the other two, however, there was no news until the time of publishing this report.
CriptoNoticias reported earlier that economist and business consultant Asdrúbal Oliveros pointed out that the softening of sanctions has the potential to transform daily economic dynamics. According to the specialist, This opening democratizes access to currencies and provides greater fluidity to the savings that millions of people keep in digital assets, eliminating the obstacles that made interconnection with the traditional banking system difficult.
The reincorporation of public banking on a platform of the stature of Binance represents a significant relief for the Venezuelan financial ecosystem. Although the system still operates under strict US surveillance, the measure facilitates the daily operations of citizens and strengthens the bridge between fiat money and the universe of digital assets in the Caribbean country.
