The World Bank has rejected the government of El Salvador’s request to help the country implement Bitcoin as legal tender, Reuters first reported late Wednesday.
Why it matters: The international lender’s rejection could hamper the government’s goal of making the digital currency accepted across the country within three months.
Driving the news: El Salvador’s legislature last week became the first in the world to vote in favor of formally adopting bitcoin, with plans to use it alongside the U.S. dollar, the nation’s official currency.
