The framework changed after the IMF agreement
The latest purchase took place after El Salvador made some changes to its Bitcoin legislation following its agreement with the International Monetary Fund. The regulations focused on Bitcoin’s place in daily commercial use.
Within the scope of the updated framework, the obligation for private businesses to accept payments in Bitcoin has been removed. Despite this, Bitcoin maintained its place in the country’s legal structure. Thus, its use as a means of payment and state reserve policy became more clearly separated.
