Bitcoin's status in El Salvador has been further elevated. According to official confirmation, Bitcoin banks are about to officially enter the country's financial system. This is not a pilot project or a paper policy, but a real institutional innovation—Bitcoin will be deeply integrated into the national financial infrastructure in the form of banks.
From Bitcoin becoming legal tender in 2021, to the establishment of the national sovereignty wallet, and now the introduction of a banking system, El Salvador has been running a complete financial transformation path. Deposits, lending, clearing, asset custody—these core functions of traditional banks are being directly connected to the Bitcoin framework. What does this mean? It means a sovereign country is redefining its financial infrastructure using crypto assets.
What is even more noteworthy is that El Salvador is building a replicable template. Once this national-level Bitcoin banking model operates successfully, other emerging market countries will almost certainly follow suit—this is no longer a matter of choice, but a matter of time.
This marks a turning point: the focus of discussion has shifted from "whether to adopt crypto assets" to "to what extent to adopt." When the national level begins to build banking systems for Bitcoin, the game rules have been completely rewritten. Bitcoin is no longer just an asset; it is evolving into the core infrastructure of the financial system itself.

Wait, is El Salvador really planning to turn BTC into a banking system? This might backfire...

Wow, El Salvador is really taking action. This time, they're directly moving the financial system...
Other countries must be feeling pretty uncomfortable.
Bitcoin is becoming infrastructure...
Early adopters are really making a killing, and latecomers have to join in too.
National-level endorsement—this is the real game-changer.

Wow, El Salvador is really taking action this time, not just playing around...
Other countries must be getting anxious. If this pace continues, it will truly become a template.

This move by El Salvador really paid off. From fiat currency to the banking system, a complete financial infrastructure loop has been closed.
