🔥🚨BITCOIN CRASH BATTERS EL SALVADOR, IMPERILS IMF DEAL
Bitcoin’s plunge has slashed the value of El Salvador’s holdings by roughly $300 million, exposing the risks of President Bukele’s crypto bet and shaking the country’s debt markets.

Credit risk has jumped, bonds have swung, and analysts warn that continued crypto purchases and delayed pension reforms could derail IMF support — a key pillar for El Salvador’s finances.
