Cuba's Informal Currency Market Registers Mixed Behavior on August 2

The informal currency market in Cuba closed on August 2, 2026, with mixed behavior. The US dollar finished the day unchanged at 673 Cuban pesos (CUP), while the euro showed a moderate increase to 788 CUP.

This is according to the CiberCuba Exchange Rate, an index created through automated analysis of thousands of currency trading posts in Telegram and Facebook groups. The calculation disregards atypical offers and spam messages, weighing each transaction based on its recency and consolidating a representative value that is updated several times a day.

The MLC, or Monetary-Legal Currency, provided a reference value but should be approached with caution due to the low volume of transactions recorded during this time frame. It closed around 479 CUP, although this value may not accurately reflect market conditions.
