I am always happy when government are working for Cryptocurrency. This is the major ways we can actually see wide adoption. The exchange is also a channel to announce coins into the market and that means petro is going to do well in future. If Venezuela adopt Cryptocurrency into they economy it will revive they economy and dollars infect on them.
I see this from your point of view aswell.
The more widespread process of adopting cryptocurrencies is highly dependant on the support it gets from estabilished systems, such as governments.
In my opinion, if a coin will get the support of the local government, and a commonly used payment system will be created, are the things that can really start the usage of a cryptocurrency as we wish to see.
I feel US exchange bans will not hit Petro hard, as there are other exchanges aswell, in defferent countries. If anything else, decentralised exchanges might be a solution.
Also, I also feel Maduro has exaggerated when he mentioned the 3,3 billion number, but
I would like to know what are the certified crypto exchanges,
