Sudden US military deployment: Is the crypto market’s “black swan” countdown on?



This weekend, the world’s attention may be drawn to a sudden military action—signs suggest that the US could be preparing for a major move against Venezuela, which may become the next “black swan” to hit the crypto market.

Intensive signals released, action imminent

First, top US officials were unusually active late at night, sending frequent signals; then, the State Department issued a rare highest-level travel warning: “Leave immediately.” On the military front, 11 warships, including strategic nuclear submarines, have been secretly deployed, and F/A-18 jets are conducting continuous reconnaissance flights. Multiple intelligence sources indicate the situation has reached a critical point.

Negotiations break down, only one option left

Previously, Maduro’s side proposed conditions such as “retaining military power during transition,” but these have been completely rejected by the US. With the door to a political solution closed, the military option is rapidly moving to the forefront. The US objective is clear: eliminate its adversary’s strategic foothold in South America while diverting internal pressure. Venezuela’s complex terrain and vast area mean that if action is taken, the impact will far exceed the regional level.

Financial market “black swan” warning

History shows that geopolitical crises often trigger extreme volatility in financial markets. If a sudden military conflict breaks out, it will instantly raise uncertainty for risk assets. For the crypto market, this could very well be the next unexpected “black swan”—liquidity may dry up rapidly, and market sentiment could reverse in an instant.
