Bolivia has moved to bring stablecoins into its formal banking system, a shift 
that could change how people save and pay for things in the country. Banks 
will be allowed to offer accounts, custody and payment services tied to 
stablecoins such as USDT, government statements and local reports disclosed. 
The move follows a sharp rise in crypto use as people seek ways to hold 
dollar-pegged value amid currency pressure. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces 
More Downside After Recent Crash, Data Shows Banks To Offer USDT Accounts 
Reports have disclosed that Economy Minister Jose Gabriel Espinoza announced 
the change, and at least one lender, Banco Bisa, has already begun offering 
custody and transfer services for USDT. Based on reports, crypto transactions 
in Bolivia jumped dramatically last year, with some counts showing growth of 
more than 500% and figures putting crypto activity at $294 million in the 
first half of 2025. Those numbers have pushed regulators and banks to respond 
more directly. 💥 BREAKING: 🇧🇴 Bolivia to integrate Bitcoin and crypto into its

Bitcoin Archive (@BitcoinArchive) November 26, 2025 Everyday Payments And 
Savings People and businesses are reportedly testing USDT for real payments. 
Some shops and service providers have shown prices in USDT, and certain 
sectors — such as car dealers and firms handling imports — are said to be 
accepting stablecoin payments for some transactions. According to market 
observers, the change is partly a response to shortages of physical US dollars 
and to rising costs that make the local currency less stable for saving. Banks 
will be able to create savings products denominated in stablecoins, and may 
offer loans or payment options tied to them. Cross-Border Transfers And 
Remittances Based on reports, one obvious use will be cross-border transfers. 
Stablecoins can offer a dollar-pegged option when access to actual US dollars 
is limited. That could help businesses that buy fuel or other imports and 
families that receive money from abroad. Still, practical hurdles remain: many 
people are unbanked or lack easy internet access, and broad adoption will take 
infrastructure, training and clear consumer protections. Regulatory Limits And 
Risks According to analysts, the government’s plan does not make stablecoins 
legal tender in place of the boliviano. Rather, it lets regulated banks 
provide crypto-linked services under the financial system. That means 
accepting USDT will likely stay voluntary for merchants. There are also risks 
to watch: stablecoin liquidity, custody safety, and how well banks manage 
anti-money-laundering rules. Consumer education and stronger oversight will be 
needed to protect ordinary users. What Comes Next Several months of rollout 
and pilot programs are expected, and observers will be watching transaction 
volumes and how many banks and businesses sign on. If the system grows, 
Bolivia could become an example for neighboring countries facing similar 
currency stress. But the deeper economic problems that pushed people to crypto 
— inflation and limited dollar access — will still need government solutions 
beyond new payment rails. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Reenters ETH Market,

Avalanche (AVAX) is back in the spotlight after reclaiming its position among 
the top 20 cryptos to surpass Hedera (HBAR), just as Securitize secures EU 
approval to launch the region’s first fully regulated blockchain-based 
securities market on the Avalanche network. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s New

Tradingview Securitize Wins EU Approval and Selects Avalanche for Settlement 
System Securitize received regulatory authorization from Spain’s National 
Securities Market Commission (CNMV) to operate a tokenized trading and 
settlement system under the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime. The approval enables 
Securitize to passport the license across the European Single Market, 
including France, Germany, and Italy, creating an unprecedented bridge between 
its U.S. broker-dealer operations and Europe’s capital markets. The firm 
confirmed that the entire infrastructure will run on the Avalanche blockchain, 
citing sub-second finality, regulatory-grade network performance, and scalable 
architecture. This move positions Avalanche at the center of institutional 
tokenization just as Securitize prepares for a $1.25 billion SPAC merger and 
expands its portfolio, including managing the now-over $1 billion BlackRock 
BUIDL on-chain treasury fund. The first EU-compliant issuance is slated for 
early 2026, opening the door for a wave of regulated tokenized assets, an 
estimated $18 trillion market by 2033. AVAX Price Holds Key Support as 
Technical Signals Improve While fundamentals surge, AVAX’s price remains 
compressed near the long-term support zone around $12–$15. The token recently 
bounced to $14.94, posting a 6.5% daily gain and breaking above its 7-day 
moving average at $13.96. It now faces a technical showdown with resistance at 
the 20-day SMA at $15.21. Momentum indicators are turning constructive. RSI 
sits at a healthy 42, MACD shows bullish divergence, and Stochastic momentum 
favors buyers. A breakout above $15.21 could open the path toward $18.61, with 
a larger target near $33 if long-term trendlines snap. However, failure to 
hold above $13.91 risks retesting deeper support near $12.57. Institutional 
Accumulation Strengthens Bullish Outlook Fueling optimism, AVAX One Treasury 
recently accumulated over 9.37 million AVAX, spending $110 million between 
November 5 and 23. Total reserves now exceed 13.8 million AVAX, signaling 
robust long-term institutional confidence. On-chain metrics support the 
bullish case. Deployed contracts are rising, developer activity is expanding, 
and futures taker data shows increasing buyer dominance. These combined forces 
suggest that AVAX may be carving out a medium-term bottom. Related Reading:
