EXCLUSIVE: Bolivian Deputy Baldivieso Leads Charge For Crypto Legalization In The Country

Bolivian National Deputy Mariela Baldivieso is spearheading an initiative to legalize cryptocurrencies in Bolivia.

The proposal aims to lift the current ban on crypto assets and urges the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance to establish regulatory norms.

"Bolivia needs to embrace new technologies as a transformative opportunity to strengthen our economy, promote financial inclusion, and open the doors to technological innovation," Baldivieso told Benzinga. "It's time to move towards a more prosperous future with more opportunities for the youth and citizens of our nation."

Driving Bolivia into the Digital Age

Baldivieso, a representative of the Citizen Community (CC), is pushing for a more inclusive digital and technological economic era in line with international standards. "This measure represents an opportunity to boost economic development and position Bolivia as a relevant player in the digital evolution transforming finance and trade," Baldivieso stated. She openly invites experts, government leaders, and international private company representatives to join the task force aimed at promoting the Web3 ecosystem in Bolivia.

This initiative is backed by organizations like the Blockchain Association Bolivia, Bitcoin Community Bolivia, Ethereum Community Bolivia, Startups Bolivia, and the Fintech Chamber Bolivia, among others. They highlighted that in a context of dollar scarcity, digital instruments like crypto assets could be an escape valve to channel economic flow.

The proponents warned that obstacles associated with banking systems and international blockades hinder fund transfers. However, through the use of crypto assets, transactions can be conducted swiftly and without bureaucracy, streamlining investment and invigorating the economy.
