A few hours before the announcement, news was also revealed that the government of El Salvador has planned on offering small and medium-sized companies (SME) for $10 million in crypto loans during the first quarter of 2022. Acumen, a Solana-based lending platform, will be financing the initiative of the National Commission for Micro and Small Businesses (CONAMYPE) with an annual interest between 6 percent and 7 percent with a maximum of 10 percent. The platform will use stablecoins like USDC or USDT to Conamype which would then distribute to entrepreneurs through Banco Hipotecario, a government-owned bank. The entrepreneurs would then pay the loan and its interest in the U.S. dollars to the Mortgage Bank, which would then be in charge of paying the debt to Acumen. In September, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt bitcoin as legal tender despite criticisms from global financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank. After the acceptance of BTC, the country announced tax exemption for foreign investors on BTC profits. The President of El Salvador later pledged to build a tax-free Bitcoin City for certain crypto investors in addition to establishing geothermal bitcoin mining facilities to make the Central American country a global crypto mining hotspot.
