Weekly Market Summary
El Salvador has become the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. The initiative was supported by 62 out of 84 parliamentarians.
Approximately 70% of the country’s population does not have access to traditional banking. Bitcoin is seen as a way to free the nation from reliance on the U.S. dollar.
El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, intends to sign the law soon, after which it will take effect “immediately.” The law will oblige all businesses to accept bitcoin to pay for goods or services on a par with the dollar.
Major internet services in China like Baidu, Weibo, Zhihuand Sogo appear to have started censoring keywords associated with crypto exchanges, Chinese traders and investors.
The censorship of keywords associated with Binance, Huobiand OKEx comes after government officials in mainland China started putting pressure on crypto mining and trading.

Mining
Authorities in Changji, a prefecture in Xinjiang, have ordered Bitcoin miners in one of the region’s industrial parks to halt operations.
The order comes on the heels of China’s wider crackdown on mining operations. In May, the State Council, a high-ranking government cabinet, issued a list of activities, including Bitcoin mining, that they would be monitoring closely. It is suspected that the crackdown is part of the country’s ambitions to become more environmentally friendly, something that the order in Changji appears to back up.
Under control
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called for the establishment of a legal framework for cryptocurrencies and warned consumers of the risks in the industry.
Rouhani made his comments at a meeting of the government’s Economic Coordination Board. “For legalizing the activity of cryptocurrencies and protecting people’s capital in this area, we must think of a solution as soon as possible and lay down and communicate the necessary laws and instructions,” Rouhani said. And he also added “Investments in crypto are risky and “unprofessional entry in this field should be avoided.”
