ASSESSMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF BOLIVIA OF THE INTEGRATION OF USDT INTO THE NATIONAL PAYMENT SYSTEM

According to Criptonotias, the Minister of Economy and Public Finance of Bolivia, José Gabriel Espinoza, indicated that the Government was conducting a technical assessment of the possibility of integrating USDT into the national payment system so that it could circulate in the economic system, like the United States dollar and the Boliviano. Espinoza indicated that Bolivia had now lifted its ban on encrypted assets, but still lacked a complete regulatory framework, and that there was a need to further improve the rules and take into account the anti-money-laundering requirements of the country, which was still on the FATF ash list. Owing to the chronic shortage of foreign exchange, USDT has been widely used in fuel procurement and day-to-day transactions in Bolivia since 2024. In April of this year, the State-owned Banco Unión integrated USDT into the electronic purse, Yasta, and Banco FIE launched an encrypted account service to support USDT。

Wall Street Bank joined forces to push a monetized deposit network against a stable currency expansion

On 13 July, Bloomberg reported that several large banks in the United States, including Morgan Chase, the United States Bank, Citicorp, the Bank of Rich Countries and HSBC, had announced the formation of a joint network, operated by The Clearing House, to link dollar bank deposits with block chains in response to the rapid expansion of the United States dollar, represented by USDT, USDC, in the area of payments and settlement. The network is scheduled to go online next year, with the goal of interconnecting the intra-bank block-link system, prioritizing the wholesale payment of services and the management of liquidity. Data from Artemis Analytics show that the volume of stable currency transactions in 2025 was about $33 trillion, and Bloomberg intelligence predicts a related payment flow or more than $50 trillion in 2030, a trend that the banking industry believes has created a direct competitive pressure on traditional deposits and payments。
