Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated, "Colombia's Caribbean region could grow into a future Bitcoin (BTC) mining hub." He added, "Venezuela and Paraguay are currently attracting Bitcoin mining investments based on their abundant clean energy resources, and Colombia also possesses similar potential. However, as fossil fuel-based cryptocurrency mining can exacerbate climate change issues, any future mining projects must involve consultation with the Wayúu indigenous community, ensuring their inclusion as co-participants."
