The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recommended limiting public sector exposure to Bitcoin in El Salvador, expressing concerns about the country's Bitcoin adoption. Despite this, President Nayib Bukele remains steadfast in supporting the Bitcoin experiment, which includes making it legal tender and distributing free Bitcoin to citizens.
The IMF has cited macroeconomic, financial, and legal issues with the move and has urged for a narrowing of the scope of the Bitcoin law, strengthening regulatory oversight, and limiting public sector exposure to Bitcoin. However, ongoing dialogue between the IMF and El Salvador continues, with the country maintaining its commitment to the Bitcoin law.
In response to the IMF's recommendations, President Bukele has brushed off concerns and even tweeted memes mocking the IMF's grievances. The Bitcoin law in El Salvador requires businesses to accept the asset if they have the technological means to do so, and the government has purchased significant amounts of the digital currency.
Despite these efforts, many Salvadorans have shown indifference towards using Bitcoin, with research polls indicating a lack of enthusiasm for the cryptocurrency, despite the government's distribution of free Bitcoin to citizens.
