Donald Trump signed an order banning U.S. citizens from using cryptocurrency Petro, issued by Venezuelan government.
Venezuela launched its oil-backed cryptocurrency in February 2018 to help pull the country out of a continuing economic crisis. President Nicolas Maduro also considers Petro as a way to bypass economic sanctions imposed by the U.S.
Each Petro coin is backed by one barrel of Venezuela’s oil.
