Bolivia is evaluating the integration of Tether's USDT stablecoin into its national payments system, signaling a potential shift in its digital asset policy. Economy Minister José Gabriel Espinoza announced that the government is assessing the feasibility of USDT circulating alongside the boliviano and the U.S. dollar. While the proposal is under technical review, no legal-tender status has been granted yet. The move follows a significant increase in crypto adoption after Bolivia's central bank lifted transaction restrictions in June 2024. Crypto transaction volumes surged from $46.5 million in early 2024 to $294 million in the same period last year, marking a 630% increase. The government is developing a regulatory framework for banks and payment providers, emphasizing the need for enhanced anti-money laundering measures as Bolivia remains on the Financial Action Task Force's grey list.
