Odaily Planet Daily News On February 10, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that the risks associated with El Salvador's adoption of Bitcoin have not yet become a reality, but its use of cryptocurrencies still needs to be public and concerned. The IMF said: "Given the legal risks, fiscal fragility and largely speculative nature of the cryptocurrency market, the authorities should reconsider plans to expand the government's exposure to Bitcoin." It is reported that El Salvador holds 2,381 bitcoins at an average purchase price of $43,357. Although the country has invested $103,233,360, the current market value of these bitcoins is only $51.59 million, which means a loss of more than $51 million. After Bitcoin hit a two-year low of $15,500 in November last year, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announced that the country would buy one bitcoin a day starting on November 18, 2022. However, no official purchase documents have been released yet. (Coin Edition)
