According to economist Asdrubal Oliveros, as reported on Reddit<\/a>, the country collects approximately 80% of its crude oil sales revenue in USDT.<\/p>\n Venezuela’s economy is heavily reliant on oil exports. As The Conversation<\/a> notes, oil constitutes more than 80% of the country’s exports, with the sector making up about 20% of Venezuela’s total GDP and over 50% of government income.<\/p>\n The use of USDT in oil sales is a strategic move by Venezuela to navigate the complexities of international sanctions and to find new avenues for revenue.
