Venezuela is set to launch Bitcoin services across its national banking system in 2026, a historic step in the country’s financial infrastructure. The rollout, led by Conexus, Venezuela’s largest payments processor handling nearly 40% of electronic transfers, will embed crypto directly into interbank rails. Banks will be able to offer custody, transfers, and conversions between digital assets and the bolívar, bringing formal crypto access to millions of citizens.

The initiative, first announced in late 2025, is now moving toward implementation this year as part of a blockchain‑based interbank network designed to modernize settlements and counter hyperinflation. Once live, Venezuela will become one of the first nations to officially tie Bitcoin into its banking system.
