Earlier, reports said El Salvador was set to release Bitcoin bonds on Bitfinex between June and September. Paulo Ardiono, the chief technology officer of Bitfinex, said in a statement,
“We are delighted to be the first company to be awarded this licence. It will enable Bitfinex Securities to facilitate the issuance and secondary trading of assets with clearly defined rights and obligations as outlined in the new digital asset regulatory regime.”

Meanwhile, the country’s purchase of 2,546 Bitcoin so far is still in unrealized losses despite the massive rise in Bitcoin price since January 2023.
