Inflation in Bolivia exceeds 25%, and the population is exchanging the local currency for Bitcoin and Tether.
Invest Closure "August" (07/08/25)
Ibovespa closed up 1.48%, reclaiming 136 thousand points, the highest level since July! It was four consecutive days of gains, something that hadn't happened since May. The movement came after relief in the interest rate curve and a retreat in tensions over Trump's 'tariff' on Brazilian products.
With the earnings season surprising positively, companies like Eletrobrás and Suzano drove the index. Highlights include Eletrobras shares, which soared more than 9% on the day! Smartfit and Cogna also shone. Meanwhile, Minerva and Raízen fell.
The market also liked the message from the Brazilian government, which does not intend to retaliate against the USA, calming investors. The dollar closed at R$ 5.42, and the trading volume on B3 reached R$ 23.9 billion.
🇧🇴 CRYPTO ACTIVE IN BOLIVIA!
In Bolivia, where inflation has already hit 25%, the population is abandoning the local currency and migrating to cryptocurrencies. They are using everything from USDT in cafes to Bitcoin in universities. In just the first half of 2025, digital payments reached US$ 300 million, showing that crypto is consolidating as a real alternative, even with presidential elections approaching.
🪙 BITCOIN ON THE RISE + ETF + BB IN THE GAME
With the expectation that the Fed will cut interest rates in the US in September, Bitcoin continues to rise, maintaining above US$ 114 thousand. And Ethereum leads the gains with a 54% increase for the month!
Meanwhile, Banco do Brasil launched an accessible Bitcoin fund with a minimum investment of just R$ 0.01. It replicates international ETFs and is already exempt from 'come-cotas' if specific rules are followed.
Even with recent outflows in US ETFs, major treasuries purchased billions in BTC, showing that institutional interest remains strong.
All of this reinforces: cryptocurrencies are shifting from speculative bets to a strategic part of global investments.
