El Salvador’s BTC adoption poses risks to the US financial system, according to a few US Senators that introduced a new bill which seeks the Senate to review El Salvador’s BTC law and develop a new plan to mitigate the risks so let’s read further in today’s najnovejše novice o Bitcoinu

The US Senators introduced legislation requiring the State Department to write a new report on El Salvador’s Bitcoin law and to develop a plan to mitigate the potential risks for the US financial system. The proposed law, the Accountability for cryptocurrency in El Salvador Act was introduced by, Bob Mendez, Jim Risch, and Bill Cassidy. In the press release, the senators said that El Salvador’s BTC adoption law raises major concerns and that the proposed legislation gives the State Department 60 days to produce a report on the Central American country’s adoption of BTC if the bill passes.

Bitcoin as the biggest cryptocurrency by market cap is a legal tender in El Salvador, a tiny country in Central America, and the nation’s eccentric president Nayib Bukele proposed the law last year and passed it in September. The law requires businesses to accept BTC as payment if they have the technological means to do so. The government has a wallet for citizens to use called Chivo and gave its citizens free $30 of BTC to get started. One of the senators however said in a statement published on Wednesday:

»Sprejetje bitcoina v Salvadorju kot zakonitega plačilnega sredstva vzbuja veliko zaskrbljenost glede gospodarske stabilnosti in finančne integritete ranljivega trgovinskega partnerja ZDA v Srednji Ameriki. Ta nova politika lahko oslabi politiko sankcij ZDA in okrepi zlonamerne akterje, kot so Kitajska in organizirane kriminalne združbe. Naša dvostranska zakonodaja si prizadeva za večjo jasnost politike Salvadorja in od uprave zahteva, da ublaži morebitno tveganje za finančni sistem ZDA.

Bukele responded on Twitter by calling the lawmakers “boomers” and said that they are not their colony so they don’t have to listen to their rules:

“Stay out of our internal affairs. Don’t try to control something you can’t control.”

The Bitcoin Law was criticized by the World Bank, JPMorgan, the IMF, and many more institutions. The IMF even asked El Salvador to drop the law. Citizens in the country protested against the law and what they see as an authoritarian government but the president is still largely popular among residents at least the polls show that result. President Bukele tweets when he buys BTC and he even claimed that he does it on his phone while being naked. Major merchants like McDonald’s and Starbucks in the country all accept crypto but many ordinary citizens don’t use it.
