El Salvador context
El Salvador built the deepest institutional crypto posture in the Americas, including a national bitcoin holding and a licensed digital asset provider regime. The Digital Assets Issuance Law and the CNAD licensing regime give a clear route for digital asset providers, with tax exemptions for qualifying licensed activity; bitcoin's legal tender mandate was made voluntary in 2025.
