Banco BISA, a Bolivian banking giant, has boldly moved to keep pace with evolving global finance by entering the Web3 space. The top financial institution recently launched secure custody services for Tether (USDT), aiming to cater to local and international needs. This step marks Banco BISA’s entry into digital assets and a forward-looking shift that could set a new standard for Bolivian banks.

Banco BISA’s Vice president of business, Franco Urquidi, cited <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/tether-usdt-market-cap-hits-milestone-at-over-120-billion/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tether’s&nbsp; (USDT) established market resilience and security</a> as major factors behind its adoption in a recent interview. He stated that the stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, offers a safer entry point into the crypto market.&nbsp;
This allows banks like Banco BISA to provide a steady, secure, and regulated experience for Bolivian clients venturing into the digital asset world. Urquidi reiterated that Banco BISA is just experimenting with crypto and building its services around a reliable digital asset.
Bolivia’s latest crypto adventure came after its government lifted its nine-year ban in June. El Salvador’s success inspired this new landscape in the country with Bitcoin adoption.&nbsp;
After removing the restriction, the Bolivian government observed a 100% growth surge, raking in about $15.6 million in crypto trading. As Bolivia aligns itself with the global Web3 movement, Banco BISA’s early adoption could significantly boost the country’s economic future.

Banco BISA has strategically partnered with Web3-focused firms to support this crypto pivot. This effort is geared towards enhancing the accessibility and reliability of its services. The bank also mentioned that its transaction fees will be structured to attract users and be secure and hassle-free.
Banco BISA announced that Tether payments for locals will cost between $5 and $15 for transactions between $200 and $10,000. For international payments, Banco BISA offers a flat $40 fee, a competitive alternative to traditional international payment methods.
According to Urquidi, security is Banco BISA’s top priority. The bank has implemented a strict verification process to protect clients from the risks of the unregulated crypto space.
