2025-08-09 18:10:12

Main Idea

El Salvador has approved an Investment Banking Law allowing regulated Bitcoin investment banks to operate, aiming to attract foreign investment and institutional crypto-focused financial firms.

Key Points

1. El Salvador's Investment Banking Law permits private investment banks to operate with a PSAD license, enabling them to function entirely as Bitcoin banks.

2. The law is designed to encourage foreign investment and institutional participation in El Salvador's pro-crypto regulatory environment.

3. Bolivia's central bank signed an agreement with El Salvador's CNAD to promote cryptocurrency use, particularly US-dollar-denominated stablecoins, as a medium of exchange.

Description

The new law will allow investment banks, which can underwrite companies, issue securities, and are institutionally focused, to hold BTC.
