Another country is seriously considering integrating USDT into its payment system. The Bolivian government is evaluating the inclusion of USDT as a compliant payment option alongside the Boliviano and the US dollar. Currently in the technical assessment phase, no implementation guidelines have been established, and USDT will not be granted legal tender status. Economic Minister Espinoza stated that the government is developing a regulatory framework covering banks, digital wallets, and payment service providers, while strengthening anti-money laundering controls—Bolivia remains on the FATF gray list, making this step essential. The driving force behind this move is real demand. Since the central bank lifted restrictions on cryptocurrency transactions in June 2024, adoption has surged: transaction volume reached $294 million in the first half of 2025, more than quintupling year-over-year; total transaction volume has grown approximately 630% since the restrictions were lifted. The root cause is a dollar shortage. Domestic dollar liquidity is tight, and the exchange rate has shifted to a floating system, prompting businesses and residents to increasingly rely on stablecoins for cross-border payments and value storage. The state-owned energy company YPFB plans to use cryptocurrencies to pay for energy imports, and the state bank’s digital wallet launched USDT purchasing services in April. Countries facing high inflation and dollar scarcity are becoming the most authentic real-world use cases for stablecoins—not speculation, but necessity.
