President Maduro forces Bank of Venezuela to accept Petro
Venezuela is a heavily-sanctioned country from its neighbour, the United States of America as well as the European Union. This has had a major economic impact on the country even though it has the biggest oil reserves in the world. Venezuela’s inflation sky-rocketed to numbers unheard of even in the volatile cryptocurrency market, the annual inflation is expected to reach 10,000,000% according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). As a result, the national currency became almost worthless and citizens had to start using Bitcoins to avoid the risk of devaluation and combat inflation.
To help overcome these sanctions, the Venezuelan government released its own cryptocurrency: Petro. President Maduro’s comment at the time was: “Petro is born, and we are going to have a total success for the welfare of Venezuela”. The cryptocurrency is backed by oil and will have an equal cost to a barrel of oil. Although the economic and political meltdown came with the arrival of the latest president Nicolas Maduro, the main idea behind Petro, a currency back by raw materials, was initially thought of by the late Hugo Chavez according to Petro’s whitepaper. Unfortunately, the current solution is not backed by barrels of oil but rather by subterranean reserves.
The announcement of Petro was not warmly welcomed by the international community, especially the US who sanctioned the cryptocurrency by direct order from president Trump. Moreover, it was not put to use by the Venezuelans as they had already adapted to other cryptocurrencies. To encourage its use and increase its availability, president Maduro gave a direct order to Venezuela’s largest bank, Bank of Venezuela (BoV) to make the cryptocurrency, Petro, available to the public.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
