The US arrest of Venezuelan President Maduro yesterday had little impact on Bitcoin prices, with some experts saying Washington's move will not harm the crypto market. Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Fund, stated on the X platform that he did not foresee a "widespread Bitcoin pullback triggered by the Venezuelan attack," adding that it was a premeditated and coordinated attack against Maduro, now a thing of the past. However, some are concerned that the situation may change after the stock and commodity markets open on Monday. Analyst Lennaert Snyder wrote on the X platform: "Geopolitical tensions and the return of major players to the market next week could increase Bitcoin volatility after the weekend."
