💵 🍪 Oreo for Tether? Welcome to Bolivia 2025
While the government teeters on the edge of default, airport shops are already pricing goods in #USDT . The stablecoin is becoming Bolivia’s new shadow currency — and it’s no longer exotic, it’s the harsh new normal.
➡️ What’s happening?
🟡 At Duty Fly duty-free, everything from sunglasses to cookies is priced in #Tether
🟡 The exchange rate is based on #Binance and shown as a reference
🟡 Payments can be made in bolivianos or USD — but prices are set in USDT
➡️ Why is this alarming?
📉 National reserves fell from $15B to $1.98B — with less than $50M in cash
📈 #Inflation hit 14.6%, and the street dollar rate nears 10 bolivianos
🛢 The government spends $56M a week on fuel, yet lines at stations remain
📸 A pack of Oreos now costs 15–22 USDT — a symbol of the national currency’s collapse
Bolivia shows how people turn to stablecoins like Tether in times of hyperinflation and currency crises — even when the government stays silent.
