According to CriptoNoticias, he said businesses and individuals increasingly use the stablecoin for domestic trade and cross-border payments. Ardoino linked the growth to currency devaluation, dollar shortages and financial restrictions affecting local markets.</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/paoloardoino/status/2091562765206868034?s=20 </div></figure><p>Ardoino said several developing economies now rely heavily on <a href="https://cryptofrontnews.com/tether-reports-1-5b-profit-as-usdt-supply-hits-record/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDT</a> for internal and foreign commerce. He also said Tether’s financial inclusion mission has become more important as stablecoin use expands.</p><p>Venezuela provides one example of the uses Ardoino described. Local businesses use USDT for import and export settlements, where traditional correspondent banking can create additional payment difficulties.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-venezuela-and-bolivia-see-commercial-use-strong"><strong>Venezuela and Bolivia See Commercial Use</strong></h2><p>According to data cited by the Venezuelan Chamber of Electronic Commerce, Venezuela has high per-capita digital asset adoption. The country has developed a mixed financial environment involving the bolívar, cash dollars and digital assets.</p><p>Bolivia has also seen wider USDT use since a shortage of physical dollars emerged in 2024. According to CriptoNoticias, USDT has entered commercial transactions, including fuel purchases.</p><p>The country’s Ministry of Economy and Public Finance is considering whether to integrate USDT into its payment system. The proposal would allow the <a href="https://cryptofrontnews.com/japan-creates-dedicated-crypto-and-stablecoin-division/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stablecoin</a> to circulate alongside the Bolivian boliviano.</p><div id="media_image-7" class="widget widget_media_image cfn-widget cfn-banner cfn-banner-article cfn-banner_728"><a href="https://t.me/EliteFXLabs" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img width="1280" height="698" src="https://cryptofrontnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/EliteFXLabsBanner-0.webp" class="image wp-image-44226 attachment-full size-full" alt="EliteFXLabs Banner" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></div><p>Meanwhile, state-owned and private banks have integrated USDT into mobile applications.

Users turn to the stablecoin to preserve value and convert between USDT and pesos.</p><p>However, USDC is competing for business users that require formal tax and accounting treatment.
