BlockBeats News, January 13 — U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated that whether the U.S. will seize Venezuelan-held Bitcoin assets “remains to be seen.” In an interview with Fox Business, he responded that the claim that Venezuela may hold up to $6 billion (about 60,000 BTC) is currently unverified by several blockchain analysts, and any related actions will be decided by other government departments, with the SEC not involved.

In April 2026, after Bitcoin pulled back for five consecutive months and then stabilized, demand remained weak, apparent demand was negative, and sell pressure was higher than buying.
