薩爾瓦多同意國際貨幣基金組織貸款計劃，但條件將限制其比特幣策略

國際貨幣基金組織表示，融資貸款將用於「解決國際收支需求並支持政府的經濟改革」。

El Salvador has agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a $1.4 billion financing loan to support the country's economic reforms and balance of payment needs, with a particular focus on El Salvador's Bitcoin adoption strategy.

薩爾瓦多已與國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）同意提供 14 億美元融資貸款，以支持該國的經濟改革和國際收支需求，特別關注薩爾瓦多的比特幣採用策略。

The IMF Executive Board still has to approve the agreement, and El Salvador has to carry out prior actions that both parties agreed on. The IMF will provide $1.4 billion for the package, and additional funding from other regional development banks will bring the total financing loan to $3.5 billion.

國際貨幣基金組織執行董事會仍須批准該協議，薩爾瓦多必須執行雙方商定的事先行動。國際貨幣基金組織將為該計畫提供14億美元，其他區域開發銀行的額外資金將使融資貸款總額達到35億美元。

While the loan is good news for the government and other allied nations, the cryptocurrency community is watching Bukele's every move, especially since the loan deal had specific conditions regarding the country's digital assets push.

雖然這筆貸款對政府和其他盟國來說是個好消息，但加密貨幣社區正在關注布克萊的一舉一動，特別是因為貸款協議對該國的數位資產推動提出了具體條件。

What Does the Agreement Say About BTC?

該協議對比特幣有何看法？

The financing deal states that El Salvador must implement legal reforms to "make acceptance of Bitcoin by the private sector voluntary." As we've seen in the crypto space, institutional involvement in BTC has opened more doors for building trust among retail investors.

融資協議規定，薩爾瓦多必須實施法律改革，「讓私部門自願接受比特幣」。正如我們在加密貨幣領域所看到的，機構對 BTC 的參與為散戶投資者之間建立信任打開了更多大門。

"For the public sector, engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities and transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin will be confined," the IMF said. This provision might hinder the Bukele administration's efforts toward broader BTC adoption in the country.

國際貨幣基金組織表示：“對於公共部門來說，參與與比特幣相關的經濟活動以及比特幣的交易和購買將受到限制。”這項規定可能會阻礙布克萊政府在該國更廣泛採用比特幣的努力。

Lastly, the Salvadoran government will have to wind down its involvement in the crypto e-wallet Chivo, a BTC wallet that allows El Salvador citizens and businesses to make cross-border payments in Bitcoin or dollars.

最後，薩爾瓦多政府將不得不減少對加密電子錢包 Chivo 的參與，這是一種 BTC 錢包，允許薩爾瓦多公民和企業以比特幣或美元進行跨境支付。

Why the Funding Package is a Big Deal

為什麼融資方案很重要

For starters, Bukele had, for years, refused to bend to the IMF's conditions regarding El Salvador's Bitcoin strategy. The United Nations' financial agency raised serious concerns about El Salvador recognizing Bitcoin as legal tender.

首先，布克萊多年來一直拒絕屈服於國際貨幣基金組織關於薩爾瓦多比特幣戰略的條件。聯合國金融機構對薩爾瓦多承認比特幣為法定貨幣表示嚴重關切。

Earlier this year, the IMF said "addressing risks arising from Bitcoin is a key element of our discussions with the [Salvadoran] authorities."

今年早些時候，國際貨幣基金組織表示，“解決比特幣帶來的風險是我們與（薩爾瓦多）當局討論的關鍵要素。”

For about three years, Bukele stood his ground on his views regarding the world's largest digital currency by market cap, with the government continuously purchasing 1 BTC daily since late 2022.

大約三年來，Bukele 堅持自己對全球市值最大數位貨幣的看法，自 2022 年底以來，政府每天持續購買 1 BTC。

Some X users and observers are now trolling the Salvadoran president, pointing out how he buckled to secure the loan from the IMF.

一些 X 用戶和觀察家現在正在攻擊薩爾瓦多總統，指出他如何屈服於國際貨幣基金組織的貸款。

Prominent financial analyst Jacob King had a very blunt opinion about the matter. "The maxis always say 'fiat is trash,' but look how quick Bukele got bought out by the globalist elites. The irony!" he wrote Wednesday.

著名金融分析師雅各布·金（Jacob King）對此事發表了非常直率的看法。 “明訊總是說‘法定貨幣是垃圾’，但看看布克萊多快就被全球主義精英收購了。諷刺的是！”他週三寫道。

"The moment the IMF shows up with a check, the narrative flips. If Bitcoin was really the future, why sell out for fiat?" another user said.

「當國際貨幣基金組織帶著支票出現的那一刻，故事就翻轉了。如果比特幣真的是未來，為什麼要賣掉法定貨幣？”另一位用戶說。

While others were trolling, some took the news in a different light, including one X user who said that the Bitcoin provisions on the IMF funding package makes it "glaringly obvious the global elites are worried about Bitcoin."

雖然其他人在惡搞，但也有人以不同的角度看待這一消息，其中一位 X 用戶表示，國際貨幣基金組織融資方案中的比特幣條款「顯而易見，全球精英對比特幣感到擔憂」。

One well-followed BTC user said that in El Salvador, BTC use has always been voluntary. "So the IMF negotiated a condition that was already in place. Gangster move by Bukele," the user wrote.

一位備受關注的比特幣用戶表示，在薩爾瓦多，比特幣的使用一直是自願的。 「所以國際貨幣基金組織談判了一個已經到位的條件。布克萊的黑幫行動，」該用戶寫道。

Other crypto users expressed disappointment over the news, considering how El Salvador had been a strong supporter of BTC for years.

考慮到薩爾瓦多多年來一直是比特幣的堅定支持者，其他加密貨幣用戶對此消息表示失望。

This is very disappointing...

這是非常令人失望的...

Kinda sad if everything is true. But only if 'everything', because the Chivo Wallet sucked a$$ since the beginning anyways, and it's been voluntary for businesses in real life. So unless the government cannot buy more Bitcoin, and it loses legal-tender status, yes this sucks.

如果一切都是真的，有點悲傷。但前提是“一切”，因為無論如何，Chivo 錢包從一開始就吸走了美元，而且它對於現實生活中的企業來說是自願的。因此，除非政府無法購買更多比特幣，而且它失去了法定貨幣地位，否則這很糟糕。

How is Bukele Taking the Heat?

布克爾如何應對壓力？

Bukele himself has not yet issued an official statement regarding the backlash over his government's decision to agree with the IMF's terms. However, El Salvador's Bitcoin office posted that "El Salvador keeps stacking 1 BTC per day, every day," about an hour after the IMF's announcement hit the news.

布克萊本人尚未就其政府同意國際貨幣基金組織條款的決定引發的強烈反對發表正式聲明。然而，在國際貨幣基金組織的聲明成為新聞大約一個小時後，薩爾瓦多的比特幣辦公室發布消息稱，「薩爾瓦多每天都在累積 1 比特幣」。

Ahead of the loan package's announcement, Bukele also took to X to post a chess piece emoji. The piece he chose was a pawn.

在貸款方案宣布之前，布克萊還在 X 上發布了一個棋子表情符號。他選擇的棋子是一顆棋子。

Since news of the IMF's loan agreement with El Salvador broke, Bitcoin plunged to around $100,000. A day earlier, the digital currency hit a new all-time high of $108,000.

自從國際貨幣基金組織與薩爾瓦多達成貸款協議的消息傳出以來，比特幣已暴跌至 10 萬美元左右。一天前，該數位貨幣創下 108,000 美元的歷史新高。
