Updated: Jan 12 2026- Diplomatic Tensions: Trump's posting of a meme claiming he is the 'Acting President of Venezuela' on social media, despite lacking formal recognition, further exacerbates his contentious relationship with global affairs, potentially impacting U.S. diplomatic interactions with Latin American countries.
- Strong Venezuelan Response: Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodríguez strongly condemned U.S. actions, labeling them as 'criminal aggression' and vowing to secure the release of the Maduro family, demonstrating the country's firm resistance to external intervention.
- Bitcoin Market Stability: Despite the meme sparking online discussions, Bitcoin's current price stands at $91,758.28 with a market cap of $1,832,848,385,271.00 and a market dominance of 58.58%, indicating relative stability in the cryptocurrency market amidst political turmoil.
- Speculative Market Impact: The Coincu research team suggests that while political memes like Trump's may fuel market speculation, they lack quantifiable impact on crypto markets without concrete policy changes or financial implications, reflecting the market's sensitivity to political events.
