📉 Analysis on the purchase of foreign currency in Venezuela (09/18/2025)
Hello everyone. Today I want to reflect on a situation that continues to generate anxiety among many Venezuelans: the desperate search for cash foreign currency. For some time now, obtaining dollars in small amounts has become an almost impossible task, and this scarcity has led many to acquire them at any price, either in cash or through digital platforms like AirTM, Contigo, Crixto, or Binance.
📊 As of September 18, 2025, the average price of USDC and USDT on these platforms was 269.00 VES, according to the dynamics of supply and demand.
But here comes the real dilemma: many buy these currencies without a clear savings or investment strategy. In less than 15 days, they end up selling again to cover basic needs. So, the problem is not whether they are bought at high or low prices, but rather that they are purchased without a defined financial purpose, which creates a cycle of stress, loss of value, and frustration.
💡 There are still options to invest in bolívares (VES) with a long-term vision and generate returns in dollars (USD) through well-structured portfolios.
✅ Strategic recommendations
1. If you have a surplus in VES, consider advancing useful expenses:
- Supplies and lubricants for vehicles
- Perishable food
- School tuition
- Medicines
- Academic or technical training
2. Explore local financial instruments:
- Investment in Fixed Income and Variable Income through the Caracas Stock Exchange
- Participation in Open Mutual Funds, which allow diversification and access to returns in USD
3. Buy USDT and place them in flexible savings schemes, which allow you liquidity and returns without compromising your emotional or financial stability.
