The interest in cryptocurrency among Venezuelans is actively developing since 2017. In a country where inflation is constantly rising, cryptocurrencies act as a repository of value.
And their application is approved at the state level. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can even be used for payments to partners from other countries.
For example, at the end of 2020 it was reported that Venezuela plans to establish payment in cryptocurrencies in cooperation with Turkey and Iran.
