<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="el-salvador-to-discontinue-chivo-wallet-after-imf-loan-deal">El Salvador to Discontinue Chivo Wallet After IMF Loan Deal</h2>  
<p>Stacy Herbert, the director of the country's national Bitcoin office, said Thursday that though the wallet will be phased out, Bitcoin is still a legal tender in the nation, and El Salvador Bitcoin investment will continue, maybe at an even faster pace, to build strategic reserves.</p>  
<p>This announcement comes a day after the country sealed a deal for a <a href="https://coincu.com/297755-el-salvador-bitcoin-policy-secures-1-4b-imf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$1.4 billion loan package</a> with the IMF, which is partially conditional upon scaling back El Salvador Bitcoin investment.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="imf-agreement-means-change-in-approach-to-el-salvador-bitcoin-investment">IMF Agreement Means Change in Approach to El Salvador Bitcoin Investment</h2>  
<p>In 2021, <a href="https://coincu.com/279473-el-salvador-cold-wallet-surges-with-5850-btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">El Salvador</a> went ahead and became the first country in the world to grant Bitcoin its status as legal tender, the most daring move that had drawn not only global attention but also some criticism. While Bitcoin surged recently to a record high above $108,000, the <a href="https://coincu.com/296093-el-salvador-bitcoin-policy-faces-shift-for-imf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IMF</a> has raised its concerns regarding the potential risks related to cryptocurrencies.</p>  
<p>Under the new deal, the IMF has called for El Salvador to reduce the risks associated with Bitcoin as part of broader efforts to upgrade its economy. The agreement is pending approval from the IMF's executive board and marks a dramatic about-face for the IMF's stance on cryptocurrency regulation.</p>  
<p>It clearly reflects a growing flexibility at the IMF, possibly in light of more crypto-friendly policies about to come under the Trump regime, according to Alejandro Werner, former director of the International Monetary Fund's Western Hemisphere Department.</p>
