El Salvador has taken another step toward integrating cryptocurrency into its financial system. A new law passed by the El Salvadoran Congress now permits large financial institutions to offer cryptocurrency services to professional investors. Under the new legislation, institutions with a minimum capital of $50 million can apply for a license to provide crypto-related services. This includes holding Bitcoin and offering Bitcoin-linked products. These institutions must also meet specific eligibility criteria set by the authorities. This move is expected to encourage wider adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador and potentially attract more investment into the country's growing crypto sector. It could also provide a more regulated and accessible way for professional investors to engage with cryptocurrencies. The initiative builds upon El Salvador's existing adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender, further solidifying its position as a pioneer in cryptocurrency integration. ```
