60-second summary

Bolivia is currently mulling the recognition of USDT as a payment currency, amid a severe dollar shortage affecting its foreign currency reserves.

As foreign currency reserves remain under pressure, Bolivia is considering a framework to let the world’s largest stablecoin be used for payments, savings and trade.
