El Salvador abrirá embaixada do Bitcoin no Texas
- El Salvador, sob a liderança do presidente Nayib Bukele, planeja abrir outra embaixada do Bitcoin no Texas.
- The ambassador of the nation to the United States, Milena Mayorga, met with Jose “Joe” Esparza, Texas’ deputy secretary of state.
- El Salvador’s tourism has spiked ever since the adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender.
- The International Monetary Fund noted that the country’s economy will soon return to pre-pandemic levels.
El Salvador, the first country to adopt Bitcoin as a legal currency, is reportedly planning to open another Bitcoin embassy in Texas. The country’s dedication to Bitcoin adoption has remained unscathed in the face of an increasingly bearish market as the President of the Central American country, Nayib Bukele, aims to harness the power of BTC to improve the nation’s economy.
A embaixadora da nação nos Estados Unidos, Milena Mayorga, revelou recentemente que as autoridades salvadorenhas podem abrir uma embaixada do BTC no Texas, também conhecido como Lone Star State.
In order to explore the new proposal, Mayorga met with Jose “Joe” Esparza, Texas’ deputy secretary of state. In a recent tweet, Mayorga outlined the financial relationship between El Salvador and the second-largest US state. She stated:
“We discussed the opening of the second Bitcoin embassy and the expansion of commercial and economic exchange projects. In 2022, El Salvador and the State of Texas had a commercial exchange of $1,244,636,983.”
Due to its promising regulations and local authorities’ pro-crypto positions, Texas has become a blockchain hub. Several bitcoin miners have also relocated to their region because of the region’s favorable climate and relatively low electricity prices.
É importante observar que o renomado político americano Ted Cruz, que atua como senador júnior dos EUA pelo Texas, é um defensor vocal do Bitcoin. Embora o BTC tenha obtido grande apoio do republicano, a potencial criação de um dólar digital é criticada por ele. No ano passado, ele apresentou um projeto de lei que pode impedir o Federal Reserve de lançar tal produto financeiro. Na ocasião, Cruz declarou:
“This bill goes a long way in making sure big government doesn’t attempt to centralize and control cryptocurrency so that it can continue to thrive and prosper in the United States. We should be empowering entrepreneurs, enabling innovation, and increasing individual freedom – not stifling it.”
Notavelmente, em outubro do ano passado, o país centro-americano assinou um memorando de entendimento com a cidade de Lugano, na Suíça, para abrir um escritório de Bitcoin na região. Mayorga declarou na época:
“My fellow Salvadorans and I are very excited by the promise of Bitcoin, and I look forward to seeing how this initiative will help increase access to economic security and economic freedom for all.”
Seeing the major increase in El Salvador’s GDP and tourism, the Lugano government has turned its attention to the crypto industry. Last year, they declared the city’s stablecoins, LVGA, Tether (USDT), and Bitcoin (BTC), to be legal tender.
Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, El Salvador estabeleceu uma nova agência chamada National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) que liderará todos os projetos relacionados a blockchain e criptomoedas no país centro-americano.
