Two exchange rates, explained
For almost 15 years the boliviano was fixed at Bs 6.86 (buy) and Bs 6.96 (sell). On June 29, 2026 Bolivia adopted a flexible exchange rate. The Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB) now publishes an official rate (TCO) every business day, based on what banks pay their customers for dollars.
The parallel or blue rate is what people pay outside banks, mostly by trading USDT on P2P platforms. Today it is 1.2% above the official rate.
How we calculate the parallel rate
Every 5 minutes we read the first 10 public USDT/BOB ads on each side at Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget and MEXC. We take the median for each platform, then the median across platforms. Details in about & methodology.
