Frequently asked questions about the Venezuela dollar rate
What the USDT dollar is, how it differs from the BCV rate, and where the figures come from.
What is the dollar exchange rate in Venezuela today?
Venezuela has no single dollar price: the BCV quote and the USDT/VES rate coexist, the latter formed mainly in person-to-person USDT trades on P2P platforms. Both appear on this page, gap included, and are refreshed every weekday.
What is the USDT dollar?
It is the price of one USDT, a stablecoin that aims to hold the value of the US dollar, when Venezuelans trade it among themselves on the P2P market and pay bolívares by bank transfer. Several P2P platforms host this trade, and the resulting quote works as the de facto reference.
What is the difference between the BCV rate and USDT/VES?
The BCV publishes the official rate. USDT/VES shows the price at which dollars change hands between individuals, outside the formal system.
What is the exchange rate gap and why does it matter?
The gap is the percentage difference between USDT/VES and the BCV quote. When it widens, a dollar costs more outside the BCV channel than inside it; businesses and investors follow it to size their currency risk.
How often is this information updated?
Each working day, automatically, from the same public sources and BCV publication that feed the tepuyventures.com markets ticker. Each update carries its date and time. The BCV series starts in 2000; the USDT/VES series, in 2019.
