Market data cited in reports show tokenised RWAs expanding quickly, with Ethereum a key infrastructure.

Bolivia\'s government is reviewing whether to include Tether\'s stablecoin USDT in the country\'s official payment system, potentially allowing it to be used alongside the boliviano and the U.S. dollar.
