- Bolivia’s collaboration with El Salvador’s Digital Asset Commission to develop crypto regulatory frameworks.
- The memorandum of understanding enables collaboration on blockchain intelligence systems, risk assessment methods, and regulatory best practices for digital assets.
The central banking authority in Bolivia has entered into a strategic alliance with the digital asset regulatory commission in El Salvador to fast-track the adoption of cryptocurrency in the country. The partnership marks a transition of Bolivia to a more liberal crypto policy, to a more progressive policy of digital financial innovation using established regulatory frameworks.
Regulatory Cooperation Aims to Transform Digital Asset Landscape
The Central Bank of Bolivia and Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales of El Salvador have agreed on a detailed memorandum of understanding to formalize their collaboration. The agreement allows the partners to start working on blockchain intelligence systems, extensive regulatory frameworks, and advanced risk assessment methods for digital assets.
The volume of crypto transactions in Bolivia is also impressive, rising by 6.2 times during the period between June 2024 and June 2025 and reaching the level of $294 million. This phenomenal rise was after the enactment of Decree No. 082/2024, which greatly increased the use of legal cryptocurrencies in the country.
El Salvador is a country that has the potential to contribute to the experience of being the first country in the world to make Bitcoin legal tender in 2021. The digital asset commission of the Central American country regulates the procedure of token approval, registration of service providers, and the overall supervision of the platforms.
The historic agreement was signed in La Paz by the acting Bank President Edwin Rojas Ulo and Commission President Juan Carlos Reyes Garc. Their institutions will share best practices to build transparent and inclusive digital asset systems that can serve the underbanked populations in an effective manner.
The alliance is a strategic shift of Bolivia that has historically been a conservative country in terms of cryptocurrency regulation to a progressive approach to regulation, instead of prohibitive policies. Authorities stressed that the cooperation with El Salvador will update the financial system of Bolivia and preserve the necessary stability, and promote technological development.
This agreement places Bolivia in the same line as many Latin American nations that are working on tailored cryptocurrency laws, as the rate of digital asset adoption continues to increase. The alliance also supports the emerging leadership position of El Salvador as a regional reference point in terms of cryptocurrency integration as a reference point in institutional development.
The cooperation of Bolivia with El Salvador proves that more and more countries are realising that properly developed regulatory frameworks can allow them to utilize the benefits of cryptocurrencies and reduce the risks associated with them. The collaboration may affect other countries that are thinking of following the same pattern of digital asset regulation and adoption strategies.
