## Resource

Bolivia is eyeing official recognition of Tether’s USDT as a payment method, a move fueled by its severe dollar shortage and the growing reliance on stablecoins for everyday transactions. As fragile economies increasingly turn to digital assets for practical financial access, Bolivia joins a global trend balancing innovation with strict anti-money laundering safeguards — even as it remains on international watchlists. Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners are pivoting into AI infrastructure to diversify revenue, sparking investor scrutiny over insider stock sales as enthusiasm wanes. Big bets like CleanSpark’s $2 billion, 20-year data center deal signal a major shift toward AI and high-performance computing, especially amid post-halving profit pressures. Others are finding success elsewhere — like Bitmine’s $45 million in Ethereum staking revenue — proving multiple revenue streams are emerging in the crypto economy.
