El Salvador Teases Arrival of 'Bitcoin Banks'
In a tweet, El Salvador's Bitcoin Office has teased the arrival of "Bitcoin Banks" in the country. Details are scarce, though the announcement follows a 2024 proposal to introduce a Bank for Private Investment in El Salvador. At the time, Milena Mayorga, the Salvadoran Ambassador to the United States, described the BPI proposal as an opportunity to "diversify the financing options offered to potential investors in Dollars and Bitcoin."
