Has the IMF just accepted Bitcoin, or has El Salvador accepted the rules governing it? 👀
Most people interpret it this way: “The IMF lifted the Bitcoin-related sanction = bullish signal for BTC.”
In my opinion, what happened behind the headline is much more interesting.
The IMF granted El Salvador a waiver and unlocked around $138 million under its $1.4 billion financing program. But the agreement also comes with stricter conditions.
• No new government accumulation of BTC is expected, except for properly documented donations
• Greater transparency around the government’s cryptocurrency holdings
• Less direct government involvement in Bitcoin
• The remaining public exposure to Chivo is expected to be gradually phased out
This changes how I interpret the news.
This isn’t simply “Bitcoin’s victory over the IMF.”
To me, it looks more like coexistence under conditions.
Following the crypto sector has taught me that the headline often matters less than the changes actually taking place behind the scenes.
The headline says:
“The Bitcoin-related violation has been excused.”
The mechanism says:
“Bitcoin can stay, but the government’s exposure is more tightly controlled.”
That nuance matters for the future of Bitcoin adoption.
I don’t see this as simply bullish or bearish news.
My question is:
Does El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment emerge from this looking more credible, or simply more limited?
What do you think? 👇

The IMF releases $138 million to El Salvador with conditions regarding Bitcoin holdings

The International Monetary Fund has approved a $138 million disbursement to El Salvador as part of an ongoing lending program, after the country agreed to limit its Bitcoin activity.

The IMF’s conditions require El Salvador not to accumulate more Bitcoin than the amounts received as documented donations. It is also expected that the government will fully liquidate the remaining exposure of the state to Chivo, the government-backed Bitcoin wallet launched alongside El Salvador’s 2021 legal tender law.

The disbursement indicates an ongoing commitment between the IMF and El Salvador despite the country’s previous adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender—a policy that had complicated relations with the fund. The requirement to unwind Chivo suggests that the IMF is pressing for a clear separation between state finances and crypto infrastructure.

REESTATIZATION 📢 | During the 1980s and 1990s, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was among the leading proponents of liberalizing reforms known as the Washington Consensus. In structural adjustment programs signed with dozens of countries—especially in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe—the Fund recommended the privatization of state-owned enterprises, trade liberalization, deregulation, and reducing the role of the state in the economy. Corporate media strongly defended, with its “specialists,” this prescription with no room for critical analysis.

Presented as a solution to increase efficiency, reduce public spending, and improve the quality of services, privatizations became a frequent condition for international loans and structural adjustment programs, especially in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe.

Now, a study published by the IMF itself acknowledges that the global movement is heading in the opposite direction. The agency identifies the emergence of a “fourth major wave of nationalizations,” driven by the need for states to regain control of areas considered essential to economic development and national security.

Although the Fund treats the phenomenon as an adaptation to new global circumstances, the finding represents an indirect acknowledgment of the limitations of the model it helped promote for decades.

The shift is not happening only in developing countries.

In the United States, the government approved the CHIPS and Science Act, allocating about US$ 52 billion to strengthen domestic semiconductor production.

Already in the IMF balance sheet for the month of July, the 254 million SDRs (346 million dollars) from the reserve fund (tranche) that Venezuela had do not appear. That means they gave them to Delcy last month (July). Hopefully there is oversight in that regard; otherwise it is very likely they have killed/removed that money.

Venezuela still has the 3,295 million SDRs (Special Drawing Rights or SDRs), which are more than $4.6 billion. Delcy is also asking for those. 🥴

The IMF urges Nepal to monitor the growing use of cryptocurrencies, which is on the rise despite the ban

Despite a legal ban in place since 2021, crypto flows in Nepal briefly surpassed 13% of GDP that same year. In a report published on June 10, 2026, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raises the alarm and calls on the authorities in Kathmandu to establish a regulatory framework in line with international standards. How will the authorities manage this fait accompli?

Crypto flows in Nepal exceeded $2.6 billion in 2021, accounting for over 13% of GDP, despite the total ban on crypto transactions imposed that same year.

In 2024, these flows still represented approximately 8% of GDP, with stablecoins being the most significant component.

The IMF demands an action plan against money laundering and calls for Nepal to exit the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list.

Why do cryptocurrencies thrive where they are banned?

The IMF's diagnosis does not come as a surprise to industry observers. Cross-border crypto flows in Nepal represented around 5% of GDP in early 2025, behind Vietnam, which is showing a record level of 26%. However, the Nepalese ban has been formally total since 2021. The central bank had declared trading, mining, and all related activities illegal.

This paradox is partly explained by use cases that withstand restrictions better. "From a business perspective, it makes sense to establish regulation" to protect consumers and investors, highlights Musheer Ahmed, founder of Finstep Asia, contacted by Decrypt.

In fact, money transfers and peer-to-peer trading are precisely the two pillars that neither laws nor borders can easily block.

The IMF published a video in which it explains how tokenization and programmable money could transform the financial system. The organization highlights that the digitization of money opens the door to more efficient payments, automation through programmable contracts, and new ways to represent assets on digital networks. Although the video has an educational focus and does not promote any particular technology, it reflects that these concepts are gaining relevance among the world’s leading financial institutions. The organization does not mention Ripple or the XRP Ledger, but many community members point out that XRPL has been developing tools for these use cases for years and that the IMF has taken part in tests on the network.

🚨 The IMF officially recognizes the XRP Ledger (XRPL) in a report on Tokenization and Stablecoins.🌐🏦
A new technical document published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) titled “The Rise of Tokenization” marks an important milestone for the institutional adoption of decentralized finance and public blockchains.
📌 Key points from the report:
1️⃣ Shift toward public blockchains: The IMF notes that major international banks are moving away from closed private networks to embrace permissionless blockchains, seeking greater interoperability, transparency, and global liquidity.
2️⃣ Institutional case study: The report explicitly cites the case of Societe Generale and its euro-regulated stablecoin (CoinVertible/$EURCV), highlighting its deployment on public networks, formally mentioning the XRP Ledger (XRPL) alongside Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar.
3️⃣ Efficiency and risk reduction: The international body states that the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and fiat currencies accelerates settlement times, reduces operational costs, and lowers counterparty risk.
💡 Why is it relevant to the market?
• Regulatory and institutional validation: When a multilateral organization at the IMF level cites XRPL in its infrastructure analyses, it validates the technical and compliance work that the network has been carrying out for cross-border payments and digital assets.
• Adoption of RWA: It shows that the tokenization of fiat money on public blockchains is no longer just theory, but an operational reality adopted by major European banking giants.

The Bretton Woods Agreements (1944), the Establishment of the SDR at the IMF (1969), and the Creation of the SEC (1934): Economic Anniversaries for October 7 🏛️📜💱

October 7 marks three crucial economic milestones. In 1969, the IMF created Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to provide global liquidity and financial stability. In 1934, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began operating, establishing a modern regulatory framework for securities markets focused on transparency and investor protection. Finally, in 1944, the Dumbarton Oaks Conference laid the groundwork for the creation of the World Bank, which is vital for financing development and postwar reconstruction.

IMF: Tokenization alone is not enough to create liquidity

On October 8, 2026, the IMF published an analysis related to the tokenization chapter of its October Global Financial Stability Report. Its diagnosis: these markets are growing, but remain small and fragmented.

The technology makes it possible to represent assets on programmable ledgers and bring together issuance, trading, and settlement. It can reduce costs and processing times; achieving these benefits at scale requires four conditions:

• Legal certainty: tokens must represent enforceable rights.
• Regulatory clarity: define how rules apply to new functions.
• Interoperability: connect platforms and avoid isolated pools of liquidity.
• Safe, widely accepted money for settling transactions.

The IMF sees demand for access outside traditional trading hours, but warns that tokenized markets remain relatively illiquid and more volatile than their conventional counterparts.

Speed also carries risks: automating and connecting markets can accelerate forced selling, liquidity withdrawals, and contagion. Some existing frictions provide time to manage cash needs; removing them requires safeguards.

Market snapshot: at 02:41 UTC on 9/10, Binance spot showed ETH at 2,483.28 USDT (-3.80% in 24h), SOL at 109.90 (-5.72%), and XLM at 0.1930 (-3.79%). These are reference prices for networks used for tokenized assets. These changes do not prove a reaction to the report; greater tokenization activity also does not guarantee demand or returns for their tokens.

If you’re talking about the IMF’s current history on tokenized markets, the main idea is:
#IMFSaysTokenizedMarketsSmall — The IMF states that the tokenized real-world asset markets are still relatively small, but that they are growing and could reshape financial markets. In July 2026, tokenized RWAs were about $65 billion, with bonds and other fixed-income assets making up the majority of the market. The IMF views faster settlement, lower costs, and increased accessibility as benefits, but warns that risks related to smart contracts, liquidity, infrastructure, and contagion could rise as adoption expands.
Viral angle: “The market is still tiny — but the IMF warns that tokenization could change the way global finance works.”

IMF and El Salvador: $138 million and conditions on Bitcoin

On October 1, 2026, the IMF announced that it had completed the second and third reviews of its program with El Salvador, making about $138 million available. The statement does not confirm that the funds have actually been received.

The agreement, approved in February 2025, provides for about $1.4 billion over 40 months, with fiscal and financial targets.

The waivers address unmet criteria, including BTC accumulation, and are based on corrective measures and renewed commitments. They allow the program to continue; they do not authorize unrestricted Bitcoin purchases.

The IMF maintains that no further accumulation is planned apart from documented donations. It also reports the transfer of majority ownership and control of Chivo to a private operator and calls for the state’s remaining exposure to be reduced.

Implementation continues to pose challenges. The Fund calls for transparency regarding public crypto-asset holdings; future compliance remains necessary.

Market snapshot: at 18:33 UTC, Binance Spot listed BTC at 85.552 USDT (+0.24% over 24 hours); as a broader reference, ETH was up 0.23% and BNB was down 0.26%. These are contextual data, not evidence of a market reaction to the announcement.

Nayib Bukele publicly denied rumors that El Salvador had handed over its Bitcoin reserves to the IMF. The president clarified that the recent change involved only control of the Chivo wallet, keeping the country’s strategic reserve intact.
On X, Bukele took aim at the newspaper El País, accusing the outlet of spreading misinformation. He categorically denied that the 7,763 state-owned bitcoins had been transferred to private entities.
To support his position, the president cited an IMF report released in early September. The document confirms only a reduction in public participation in the Chivo wallet and indicates that there is no plan for new Bitcoin accumulations beyond the donations already recorded.
