El Salvador is gearing up to launch its first-ever capital raise using Bitcoin, in partnership with Bitfinex Securities. This event heralds a new era in the nation’s financial landscape. Bitfinex Securities, which allows issuers to raise capital through equity offerings and admission to trading, first arrived in El Salvador in January 2024. It became one of the earliest registered and licensed digital asset service providers in the nation.
By disintermediating traditional finance and democratizing capital and investments, this initiative aims to make them accessible to a broader audience, hence symbolizing the next phase in El Salvador’s Bitcoin-based capital markets.

From adopting Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021 to approving a digital asset regulatory framework in 2023, El Salvador has laid the groundwork for fully operational Bitcoin-based financial markets. Paolo Ardoino, Chief Technology Officer of Bitfinex Securities, expressed enthusiasm for the initiative. He stated that El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender and the development of a BTC-based economy make it a crucial market for Bitfinex. Additionally, Ardoino highlighted the potential for El Salvador to attract global investment flows through competitively priced securities offerings.
A new era of BTC-based capital markets begins tomorrow. El Salvador’s first capital raise on @Liquid_BTC will go live on @BFXSecurities. The next phase in the development of El Salvador’s bitcoin economy is coming tomorrow. Disintermediating traditional finance and making capital and investments available for everyone.
Bitcoin To Surge Higher-Expert
The nation’s president, Nayib Bukele, won a second term in office with a resounding majority. Known for his vocal support of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Bukele believed that digital assets could provide financial inclusion and empowerment to the people of his country.
During price volatility, top market analyst Negentropic suggests that BTC’s on-chain indicators show strong potential for upward movement. Analyzing last week’s candlestick pattern, Negentropic spotted a reversal candle—specifically, a hammer with an extended wick. The price action has rebounded into a pennant structure. “This week’s pullback hence seems like a healthy correction before higher. Correction often pulls back either 50% or 61.8% of the previous impulse move,” he wrote.
