Failed Venezuelan oil deal cost Poland $230M, mostly via USDt stablecoin, but yielded only $29M in oil.

Poland's Orlen advanced $230 million in a failed Venezuelan oil deal, with most funds transferred using the USDt stablecoin. Despite the large payment, only about $29 million worth of oil was delivered, highlighting risks in using stablecoins for international trade. This case raises concerns about transparency and security in crypto-based transactions for large-scale commodity deals.
