Bitcoin dips, but quickly recovers as U.S. captures Venezuela's Maduro

The U.S. carried out a "large scale" strike against Venezuela and its President Nicolas Maduro, Donald Trump announced early Saturday morning. Maduro and his wife, Trump continued, were captured and flown out of the country.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi later announced that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had each been indicted in the Southern District of New York over various drug trafficking and weapons charges.

Crypto prices took a modest hit around 2 a.m. ET on reports of military operations in Venezuela, with bitcoin (BTC) dipping about 0.5% to $89,300. At press time, just shy of 9 a.m. ET, BTC had returned to just below $90,000.

President Trump has scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. ET.
