Bolivia's state-owned energy company, Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB), recently announced plans to use cryptocurrency to pay for energy import contracts, according to Reuters on March 12, 2025. This move comes amid the South American nation's struggle with a shortage of foreign exchange reserves and a sharp decline in natural gas exports. Will crypto truly be a “savior” for Bolivia, or is it merely a risky step amid the crisis?
