El Salvador has reached a $1.4 billion agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that shifts the country's crypto policies. Under the agreement, the acceptance of Bitcoin will be made voluntary, and the government plans to reduce Bitcoin's role in the economy. The deal also aims to decrease the country's public debt and includes additional financing from the World Bank and regional development banks. The announcement comes as Bitcoin's price declines and the market reacts to the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates. Despite these changes, El Salvador's economy remains resilient due to strong remittances, growing tourism, and improved security conditions.
