I live in Venezuela and we've had forex controls for 2 decades now.

Our currency has also depreciated massively over the years to the point of being useless.

We've unofficially dollarized a lot of cash operations so I bet a bunch of it is here.

Cuba and Argentina have similar forex controls.

This is probably the case all over the world.

I always wondered, how is the unofficial USD rate set there?

Just day to day or do you have an app or something that the people follow?
