币界网报道:Bolivia is experiencing unprecedented scarcity in virtual asset dollars, with demand far outstripping supply in recent weeks. The Central Bank of Bolivia reported a 40% drop in available virtual dollar reserves compared to last quarter, marking the steepest decline since the country began tracking these metrics in 2021. Local crypto exchanges have implemented strict purchase limits, with platforms like Bitbol capping daily virtual dollar buys at $200 per user. Economists attribute the shortage to three main factors: increased demand from businesses hedging against the volatile Boliviano, reduced mining activity due to energy restrictions, and capital flight as wealthy individuals seek dollar-pegged stablecoins. The government has responded by forming a special task force to monitor virtual dollar flows and proposing new regulations that would require exchanges to maintain higher reserve ratios. Meanwhile, peer-to-peer trading volumes have surged 180% month-over-month, with USDT trading at a 15% premium on informal markets. Small businesses report difficulties importing goods as suppliers increasingly demand virtual dollar payments upfront. The central bank governor warned that "artificial scarcity" could lead to stricter capital controls if the situation doesn't improve within 60 days. Some lawmakers are pushing for emergency measures that would temporarily ban virtual dollar purchases for non-commercial purposes.
