The International Monetary Fund has approved a $138 million disbursement to El Salvador under its $1.4 billion program, choosing to grant waivers after the country missed targets related to Bitcoin accumulation. The decision means El Salvador receives the funds despite not fully meeting the Bitcoin-related conditions attached to the lending arrangement, a move that is drawing attention given the country's ongoing embrace of cryptocurrency as legal tender.

Why now: The IMF relaxing Bitcoin-related conditions for a country that made cryptocurrency legal tender is a notable shift in its stance.
