El Salvador Re-Focuses Bitcoin Strategy for Institutional Investors

El Salvador’s approach to Bitcoin regulation is shifting, moving away from mass adoption towards a new strategy focused on attracting institutional investors. The reform won’t create a brand-new system but rather integrates existing rules for Bitcoin service providers, digital asset issuers, and other crypto businesses. This allows investment banks to easily leverage their current operations to buy Bitcoin, create tokenized assets, and structure deals for clients with at least $250,000 in liquid assets. 1 The goal is to expand the country’s financial infrastructure by incorporating these well-regulated institutions alongside traditional banks.
