According to a report, El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, is also promoting and lobbying the adoption of BTC as a legal currency. El Salvador is the first country in the world to accept the US dollar and BTC as legal tender.
After these statements by the president of El Salvador and his bullish sentiment on digital assets, Paraguay also opened its arms to promote cryptocurrency. A Paraguayan named Carlitos Rejala has commented that Paraguay seeks to integrate virtual currencies in a project that would help the country enter into financial innovation.
Carlitos Rejala also claimed that he is working with the country’s crypto community to turn Paraguay into a crypto hub.
Cryptocurrencies have become an important investment opportunity and a safe and fast payment method for buying and selling goods and services.
Mexico wants to follow in the footsteps of El Salvador and Paraguay and seek the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the country. They will continue working to turn Mexico into an important crypto market in the entire world in the near future.
