Bitget has officially acquired the Bitcoin Service Provider (BSP) license from El Salvador’s Central Reserve Bank. This milestone enables Bitget to offer Bitcoin-to-fiat exchanges, Bitcoin payment solutions, and secure custody services in the country. El Salvador’s crypto-friendly stance makes it a regional innovation hub, and Bitget is ready to capitalize and expand its global reach in Latin America.
El Salvador Welcomes Bitget’s Crypto Solutions
The BSP license1 positions Bitget to provide essential Bitcoin services tailored to El Salvador’s growing digital asset market. These include:
- Bitcoin-to-Fiat Exchanges: Seamlessly convert Bitcoin into traditional currencies.
- Payment Facilitation: Enable businesses and individuals to use Bitcoin for transactions.
- Secure Custody Solutions: Offer trusted Bitcoin storage services for institutional and individual users.
This step aligns with El Salvador’s bold embrace of Bitcoin as legal tender, marking the country as a pioneer in global crypto adoption.
El Salvador Is Key for Bitget
El Salvador’s progressive crypto policies make it an ideal entry point for businesses eyeing Latin America. Bitget sees immense potential in the region, which has become a hotbed for cryptocurrency adoption. Latin American countries increasingly rely on digital assets for:
- Financial Inclusion: Bringing banking solutions to the unbanked.
- Remittances: Enabling faster, lower-cost cross-border payments.
- Economic Stability: Providing alternatives amid fluctuating fiat currencies.
“Latin America holds immense promise as a hub for crypto innovation, and El Salvador stands out as a pioneer with its bold adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender,”2 said Min Lin, Chief Business Officer at Bitget.
Bitget’s Broader Strategy: Expanding Crypto Access Worldwide
The BSP license is just the beginning. Bitget is actively pursuing a Digital Assets Service Provider (DASP) license in El Salvador to extend its services to other cryptocurrencies. The company’s commitment to compliance and innovation is evident through its achievements:
- Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) Licenses: Secured in Poland and Lithuania, strengthening Bitget’s regulatory position in Europe.
- Re-entry into the UK: By partnering with Archax, Bitget aligns with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Financial Promotions Regime.

Earlier this month, Bitget also launched BitEXC, a local regulated exchange in Vietnam. Just last week, Bitget also announced establishing a regional hub in Lithuanua in preparation for MiCA regulatory compliance. Bitget’s recent regulatory efforts show its ambition to become one of the leading centralized exchanges (CEXs) offering secure, user-friendly, and fully compliant services across the globe.
The Impact on El Salvador’s Crypto Ecosystem
El Salvador’s embrace of Bitcoin has not only driven financial innovation but also attracted global partnerships like Bitget’s. The country is balancing Bitcoin adoption with efforts to secure economic stability, including a substantial loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Bitget’s entry provides additional tools and infrastructure for businesses and individuals still using Bitcoin. With local operations and a dedicated team in El Salvador, Bitget aims to foster stronger relationships with users, support financial inclusion, and contribute to the country’s crypto-driven economic growth.
Looking Ahead: Bitget’s Role in Latin America
By securing the BSP license, Bitget positions itself as a key player in Latin America’s emerging crypto market. The exchange plans to use El Salvador as a launchpad to offer Bitcoin services and expand further into the region.
El Salvador’s favorable regulations, coupled with Bitget’s innovative solutions, signal a bright future for digital assets in the region. As more businesses adopt crypto, users can expect secure and accessible services that fuel economic transformation.

For those in El Salvador and beyond, Bitget’s secure and compliant Bitcoin services offer an exciting opportunity to embrace the future of finance. Whether you’re a business seeking payment solutions or an individual exploring crypto, Bitget’s entry ensures trusted support and innovation.
