Such a law was passed by the country&#8217;s parliament.<\/p>\n<p>62 parliamentarians supported the bill, 19 voted against, and three abstained. President Nayib Bukele intends to sign the law soon, after which it will take effect &#8220;immediately&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, accepting bitcoin for payment will become mandatory, and the most popular cryptocurrency will become a means of payment along with the US dollar. El Salvador guarantees instant automatic conversion of bitcoin into US dollars. To do this, the government will launch a $ 150 million trust fund to buy cryptocurrency from the public. The government is also considering keeping bitcoin on its balance sheet.<\/p>\n<p>According to Nayib Bukele, the law will oblige all businesses to accept bitcoin to pay for goods or services. At the same time, the government will act as a support for organizations that do not want to take risks due to the unstable cryptocurrency rate.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming days, officials from the El Salvador government will meet with IMF officials to discuss the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":129200,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-129195","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/129195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=129195"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=129195"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=129195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
