Bolivia’s Central Bank Signs Agreement with El Salvador for Crypto Regulation

Bolivia's central bank has signed an agreement with El Salvador's digital asset regulator to develop a framework for cryptocurrency adoption in Bolivia.

The Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB) and El Salvador’s Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales (CNAD) will collaborate on crypto policy initiatives.
The agreement includes joint efforts on blockchain intelligence tools, regulatory frameworks, and risk analysis models.
Digital asset transaction volume in Bolivia grew from $46.5 million in June 2024 to $294 million in June 2025.
This increase follows the passage of Decree No. 082/2024, which authorized broader crypto use.
The CNAD oversees token offerings, registration of service providers, and supervision of crypto platforms in El Salvador.
The agreement aims to build a transparent and regulated digital asset ecosystem in Bolivia.
This marks a shift towards gradual regulatory engagement rather than restriction, focusing on modernization and innovation.
The deal aligns Bolivia with other countries developing tailored crypto regulations amid rapid adoption in Latin America.
