As foreign currency reserves remain under pressure, Bolivia is considering a framework to let the world\u2019s largest stablecoin be used for payments, savings and trade.\n<\/p>\n
Bolivia is evaluating integrating Tether’s USDt into its national payments system, a move that could mark one of Latin America’s most significant stablecoin adoption initiatives as the country grapples with a persistent shortage of US dollars.<\/p>\n
Economy and Public Finance Minister Jose Gabriel Espinoza told<\/a> a press conference on Monday that the government is assessing a regulatory framework that would allow USDT to circulate \u201cas just another currency,\u201d alongside the boliviano and the US dollar.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to the Spanish news outlet CriptoNoticias, the framework is still under review and, if adopted, would recognize<\/a> USDT for everyday transactions, including payments, savings and trade, without relying exclusively on cash or the traditional banking system.<\/p>\n
