Bolivia is assessing whether to integrate Tether's USDT stablecoin into its payments infrastructure amid a persistent dollar shortage. Economy Minister José Gabriel Espinoza announced the review during a Monday press conference.
WalletConnect Pay has announced a partnership with Ingenico to enable stablecoin payments at physical checkouts, shielding merchants from blockchain complexities. CEO Jess Houlgrave emphasized that this integration allows crypto users to pay with trusted assets without merchants holding digital currencies. The move builds on growing stablecoin volumes and aims to integrate crypto into everyday retail.
