I have been monitoring Venezuelan el Petro since the start of the year.

From the latest news I saw the National Assembly approved the currency at last.

You are mixing up the National Assembly (legitimate parliament) and the "Constituent Assembly", a body set up to rubber stamp the proposals of the government.

Also I am still unable to find any information on the exact volume of foreign currency the country managed to attract during ICO - the data I found were misleading.

There is no reliable public information on that.
