Bolivia reversed its 2014 cryptocurrency ban in June 2024, when the Central Bank issued a resolution allowing the use of cryptocurrencies and digital assets through authorized financial channels. The move was driven by the need for alternative payment mechanisms amid dollar shortages.

The CBL has not issued crypto licenses and considers unauthorized crypto products illegal. No specific crypto legislation exists but the Financial Institutions Act requires licensing for all financial services.
