Bolivia intends to resort to stablecoins!!
The president of Bolivia, Luis Arce, announced several economic measures to address the country's economic situation. And the use of stablecoins is among them.
The use of stablecoins is an option to address the low supply of dollars in the country. In addition, Arce was specific when mentioning cryptos backed by metals.
According to the president, “the greater dissemination of crypto assets backed by gold, lithium and technological metals, such as Tether's Alloy (aUSDT) will be promoted”.
The Bolivian government also enabled the use of digital payments with the aim of strengthening financial and commercial activities in the face of the dollar shortage.
Not long ago, Bolivia was one of the few countries that still prohibited the use of cryptocurrencies, including in the context of South America.
After all, the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB) considered assets such as Bitcoin a high-risk product for investors. This is because they could become victims of cyber fraud, according to the institution.
However, this changed in July of this year, when the BCB revoked the ban on payments in cryptocurrencies. Therefore, the agency began to allow financial institutions to carry out transactions using digital assets.
