El Salvador has announced the launch of the world's first Bitcoin-focused investment banks following the passage of a new Investment Bank Law on August 7, 2025. This legislation permits licensed investment banks to operate exclusively with Bitcoin and other crypto assets for accredited and professional investors, distinguishing these entities from traditional commercial banks. The law imposes high entry thresholds, including a $50 million capital requirement and a $250,000 liquidity threshold. President Nayib Bukele has been a key proponent of this initiative, which aims to offer Bitcoin investors more services than traditional banks and position El Salvador as a global pioneer in Bitcoin adoption and fintech innovation. Additionally, El Salvador has become the first country to mandate Bitcoin education for all students aged seven and older, further cementing its commitment to integrating cryptocurrency into its national framework. This move comes amid growing global interest in Bitcoin and a broader shift toward institutional investment in crypto assets.
