El Salvador's bitcoin roadmap could include deeper crypto-asset integration as part of its economic future. El Salvador's Vice President Felix Ulloa recently said that bitcoin could be a tool to free El Salvador from the use of fiat currencies, including the U.S. dollar. In an interview with Russia Today (RT) on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Ulloa highlighted the economic freedom opportunities that Bitcoin adoption brings to the country. When asked about the possible de-dollarization of El Salvador and its relationship to Bitcoin, Ulloa stressed that they had studied the case before and that returning to the Salvadoran colon (the country's fiat currency) would place a heavy burden on the country. El Salvador adopted the dollar in 2020, allowing it to be used in all business and financial transactions, while seeking to improve its economic data. Ulloa said El Salvador wants to free its economy from the central bank and also from its potential dependence on fiat currencies such as the dollar, euro and sterling.
