The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recommended that El Salvador reduce the scope of its Bitcoin law and limit the public’s exposure to Bitcoin.
IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack stated that the IMF recommends narrowing the scope of the Bitcoin law, strengthening the regulatory framework, and limiting public sector exposure to Bitcoin.
The IMF has been advising El Salvador since November 2021 to narrow the scope of the Bitcoin law and strengthen regulation and supervision of the new payment system.
Despite the IMF's recommendations, El Salvador remains committed to its mission of seeing Bitcoin rise in the country and aims to make crypto more appealing to its citizens.
