El Salvador Bitcoin Law Reform Under IMF Deal event
Overview
El Salvador's Legislative Assembly approved a revision to its Bitcoin Law in January 2025, following a December 18, 2024 staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund for a roughly $1.4 billion Extended Fund Facility. The deal required the country to reduce its bitcoin-related policies, which began when bitcoin became legal tender in 2021. The reform makes bitcoin acceptance voluntary for businesses, dropping the previous mandatory requirement, as the IMF pushed the government to limit its exposure to the cryptocurrency.
