Venezuelan Bolívar (VES) to USD — Venezuela Parallel Market Rate

By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates

As of June 6, 2026, one US dollar costs about 757 VES on the Venezuela parallel market, so the Venezuelan Bolívar is worth roughly $0.00132 each. In practical terms, 1,000 VES ≈ $1.32 and 100,000 VES ≈ $132.06 at the street rate, versus the official Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) rate of about 563 VES per dollar.

Venezuelans follow the "dólar paralelo" through monitor-style trackers because the bolívar can lose value by the day.

How much is the Venezuelan Bolívar worth in US dollars today?

Because the parallel market prices the dollar at about 757 VES, you divide any Venezuelan Bolívar amount by that figure to get its dollar value. For example, 10,000 VES ≈ $13.21, 50,000 VES ≈ $66.03, and 1,000,000 VES ≈ $1,321. At the official rate the same Venezuelan Bolívar would convert to slightly more dollars on paper — but only if you can actually access dollars at that rate.

This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Venezuelan Bolívar: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.

Why the VES to USD street rate differs from the bank

When you convert Venezuelan Bolívar to dollars at a bank, you get the official Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as years of hyperinflation, oil-revenue collapse, currency controls, so each Venezuelan Bolívar fetches fewer dollars there.

Today that difference is a steep premium of roughly 35.5%. The larger this gap, the more the official rate overstates what your Venezuelan Bolívar is really worth in dollars.
