For example, in 2025, before Maduro\u2019s forceful removal, Venezuelan economist Asdrubal Oliveros pointed out that almost 80% of all oil revenue was paid in stablecoins.<\/p>\n<p>Even this year, according to Ecoanalitica\u2019s Alejandro Grisanti, P2P stablecoin-based national markets traded volumes <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/1-38-billion-in-one-month-how-venezuelas-binance-p2p-market-now-rivals-its-oil-exports\/\">representing 75% of the national monthly oil exports<\/a>. TRM Las also determined that 90.2% of all listings in Binance\u2019s P2P order book, Venezuela\u2019s most popular P2P exchange, included USDT.<\/p>\n<p>Stablecoins in Argentina have <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/the-upper-hand-why-stablecoins-will-remain-popular-in-argentina-after-the-end-of-currency-controls\/\">remained relevant even after the end of the so-called currency controls<\/a>, as some prefer their immediate liquidity and possibilities to physical dollars. Stablecoins can also fulfill their function as a hedge against local currency devaluation.<\/p>\n<p>After a multi-year crypto ban, Bolivia is now <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bolivia-evaluates-integrating-usdt-into-its-national-financial-system-following-crypto-ban-reversal\/\">evaluating the inclusion of USDT in its financial system<\/a>, with Jose Gabriel Espinoza, Bolivia\u2019s Minister of Economy and Public Finance, stressing that these assets should be regulated to avoid criminals leveraging them for money laundering or illicit purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Tether\u2019s focus on these economies where access to dollars is difficult and local currencies are weak seems to have paid off, pushing USDT to reach over $180 billion in market capitalization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cToday, Tether\u2019s mission of financial inclusion, is more important than ever,\u201d<\/strong> Ardoino concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/stablecoins\/tether-ceo-says-usdt-drives-trade-across-emerging-markets\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Developing economies increasingly rely on USDT for commerce and hedging against failing local currencies.
