Last update: 5 hours agoStablecoin Policy Watch (Bolivia): Economy Minister José Gabriel Espinoza says Bolivia is technically evaluating whether Tether’s USDT can circulate as an official payment option alongside the boliviano and the U.S. dollar, aiming to formalize what’s already happening amid a persistent dollar shortage; any rollout would require a regulatory framework for banks, wallets, and payment providers plus tighter anti-money-laundering controls because Bolivia remains on the FATF grey list.
