Bolivia has seen a surge in cryptocurrency adoption following regulatory changes in 2024 that allowed banks to process crypto payments.
Individual users generated most of the cryptocurrency transactions, predominantly through Binance-linked platforms.
Amid a growing dollar shortage, Bolivia has extended the use of cryptocurrencies to public institutions, such as the national energy company for fuel imports.
Authorities are implementing regulations to manage risks and educate citizens on cryptocurrency use, positioning Bolivia to be a regional leader in crypto adoption and financial modernization.
