Venezuela has a formal legal framework for cryptocurrency through the National Superintendence of Cryptocurrencies (SUNACRIP) established in 2019, which was tasked to license and regulate crypto operations. However, SUNACRIP has been paralyzed since March 2023 due to a corruption scandal, creating a regulatory vacuum. While crypto technically remains legal, the absence of active oversight and the government's promotion of state-backed alternatives like USDT create a highly restricted and unpredictable environment.
The contract itself does not change by geography: a FET perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
