Bitcoin Switzerland? El Salvador to Host First Fully Native Bitcoin Capital Markets

El Salvador, already known for adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, is doubling down on its crypto bet by launching the world’s first fully native Bitcoin capital markets. Think of it as a "Bitcoin Switzerland"—a hub where financial products like bonds and derivatives are built directly on Bitcoin’s blockchain, bypassing traditional banking systems. This move could attract global investors and further cement the country’s reputation as a crypto pioneer.
Editor’s Note: El Salvador isn’t just experimenting with Bitcoin—it’s rewriting the rules of finance. By creating a capital market native to Bitcoin, the country is positioning itself as a testing ground for a parallel financial system. If successful, this could pressure other nations to take crypto more seriously or risk being left behind. For crypto enthusiasts, it’s a bold step toward mainstream legitimacy; for skeptics, it’s a high-stakes gamble. Either way, it’s a story worth watching.
