đšIMF Urges El Salvador to Rethink $BTC PoliciesâMajor Warning for Crypto Investors! đš
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is once again pressuring El Salvador to scale back its Bitcoin (BTC) policies. During an Oct. 3 press conference, Julie Kozack, Director of the IMFâs communications department, called for tightening regulations around Bitcoin and reducing the countryâs public sector exposure to the digital asset.
â ïž Why is This Important?
El Salvador made history by legalizing Bitcoin as a form of legal tender in 2021, but since then, the IMF has been pushing the country to step away from its crypto-first approach and return to traditional financial systems. Despite this pressure, many of the feared risks of Bitcoin adoption havenât fully materialized yet. However, the IMF continues to highlight concerns over regulatory oversight and financial stability.
đš IMFâs Global Agenda
Itâs not just El Salvador in the spotlight. The IMF has been making waves globally by advising countries to regulate crypto more aggressively. From suggesting Pakistan institute a capital gains tax on crypto to recommending new energy taxes for Bitcoin miners, the IMF is clearly doubling down on its stance against decentralized cryptocurrencies. At the same time, the IMF is actively promoting central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) through its REDI framework, signaling its support for state-controlled digital assets.
