Scope

• The country's hyperinflation has forced the government to adopt digital payment systems. To tackle problems with cash issuance and prevent consumers from having to handle large volumes of cash to conduct purchases, in August 2021 the Venezuelan government introduced a central bank digital currency called the digital bolivar, an SMS-based system for making payments and transfers.
• Amid growing hyperinflation, cryptocurrency has emerged as one of the measures to handle local currency shortages. In June 2021, Bio Mercados (a supermarket chain in Venezuela) partnered with Cryptobuyer (a cryptocurrency exchange platform based in Panama). Under this partnership, the supermarket chain accepts payments for purchases made via Bitcoin, Dash, Litecoin, Binance Coin, Tron, and Cryptobuyer's own cryptocurrency, XPT.
• To address the cash shortage and reduce the need to carry large amounts of cash, in December 2018 the Venezuelan government barred the circulation of VEF1,000, VEF2,000, and VEF5,000 notes and replaced them with VEF10,000, VEF20,000, and VEF50,000 notes in June 2019. In a further bid to tackle soaring consumer prices in the country, VEF200,000, VEF500,000, and VEF1m notes were introduced by the government in March 2021.
