El Salvador Tweaks Bitcoin Law for IMF Deal but Stays Committed to Crypto
El Salvador’s Bitcoin policies continue evolving as President Nayib Bukele amends the country’s crypto law to align with IMF requirements.
The reform , swiftly passed by Congress, clarifies that businesses are not required to accept BTC while maintaining its legal tender status—part of a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the IMF.
