Nayib Bukele, accused of being an autocrat on Bitcoin law, said Chivo “now has more users than any bank in El Salvador” after just three weeks of operation. He points out that it is only a matter of time before the introduction of Chivo dwarfs all banks in El Salvador combined.

Chivo enables individuals and businesses to send and receive payments in BTC or USD from anywhere in the world. The wallet is available on both Android and Apple devices. The Mexican crypto exchange Bitso has registered as a core service provider for Chivo.
