Digital dollars in Bolivia
Which exchange rate matters if you want digital dollars?
USDT and USDC are dollar-referenced stablecoins: they are not dollar deposits and they are not legal-tender dollars. Here we compare what can actually be checked — public price, source and time — and explain what each product lets you do.
What do you want to do?
You hand over bolivianos and receive USDT or USDC. The price is read in bolivianos per unit.
Lower is better for you
Public observed rates for USDT at banks
A comparison of observed price within one group: same asset, same currency, same direction. It is not a statement about which product is best.

P2P markets
In a P2P market there is no such thing as «the rate». The price depends on the amount, on the advertisement's own limits and on the payment method, so every observation is published together with its reference amount.

A single observation: no position or ranking is published when there is only one provider in the group.
This is not the parallel market. The parallel indicator on the home page is a market median. This figure is one concrete route for one concrete amount. They are two different metrics and they are never compared with each other.
It is not compared with the banks. A P2P advertisement's price depends on the amount; a bank's public quote does not. That is why they sit in separate groups and never share a position.
Other verified routes
A provider is not a rate. Each product is broken down into the routes it actually offers, and the quote status belongs to the route, not to the provider. That we cannot read a price automatically today does not mean the product has no rate.

What you can do with each option
The real difference between these products is not the price: it is whether you can take the balance out, spend it, or only hold it. Each cell summarises the product's verified routes — an empty column is a route that does not exist, not a missing figure.

How we compare
USDT and USDC are not the same as a dollar deposit
They are virtual assets referenced to the dollar and issued by different companies. A product in USDT and one in USDC are not interchangeable, and neither is equivalent to dollars in a bank account. That is why the asset appears beside every product and they are never merged into one figure.
Why not every option has a price here
We only publish prices we can observe in a public source and check again. When the rate lives inside an app, we say so: we do not estimate, we do not average and we do not fill the gap.
Provider Buy and Sell rates
USDT/USDC → Bs is the provider’s Buy side; Bs → USDT/USDC is its Sell side. Capabilities describe what you can do; quotation labels keep the provider’s perspective and original source evidence.
Limits of this comparison
We compare observed price within equivalent groups. We do not compare total cost: verified fees are missing. Information for informational purposes, not investment advice. Not every provider listed is supervised by ASFI.
We do not publish a «best digital dollar»: asset, custody, transfer, limits and costs differ in every product. An informational comparison, not investment advice.
