After El Salvador, Paraguay Prepares Its Own Crypto Innovation
El Salvador made headlines by officially recognizing Bitcoin as legal tender. Now, momentum seems to be spreading in Latin America, as Paraguay announces its own plans to embrace cryptocurrency innovation.
El Salvador’s Bold Bitcoin Move
President Nayib Bukele emphasized the potential economic benefits of Bitcoin adoption. According to him, if just 1% of Bitcoin’s $680 billion market capitalization were invested in El Salvador, it could boost the nation’s GDP by 25%. Additionally, Bitcoin would provide an efficient way to handle remittances worth over $6 billion annually.
#Bitcoin has a market cap of $680 billion dollars.

If 1% of it is invested in El Salvador, that would increase our GDP by 25%.
On the other side, #Bitcoin will have 10 million potential new users and the fastest growing way to transfer 6 billion dollars a year in remittances.
Paraguay Joins the Crypto Wave
Following El Salvador’s announcement, Paraguayan lawmaker Carlitos Rejala hinted at a major project that could bring crypto innovation to his country. Rejala expressed optimism about positioning Paraguay at the forefront of blockchain and digital payment systems.
Como ya lo decÃa hace un buen tiempo, nuestro paÃs necesita avanzar de la mano de la nueva generación.
