Salvador's central bank data shows that in the first four months of 2026, family remittances sent to El Salvador via Bitcoin and crypto wallets reached $23.1 million, a 44.3% increase from $16 million in the same period last year. However, crypto remittances still account for only 0.70% of the total remittance amount of $3.29B during the same period, with traditional banks and remittance agencies still dominating. The report states that in 2025, Salvador's crypto remittances decreased by 32.5% year-on-year to $57.67 million, but this year's data rebound indicates that Bitcoin remittance channels are recovering usage.

0.7% looks small, but with a 44% growth rate, it will be a different story after three years.

Data conflicts, didn't it say before that many people have abandoned it?

Salvadoran ordinary people are really using it, not just relying on government calls.

In 2025, it dropped 32% and then rebounded this year. This volatility is as exciting as the coin price.

For this essential scenario of family remittances, BTC is indeed cheaper than Western Union.

Once the Lightning Network matures further, how many times can this number increase?

0.7% share indicates the revolution is still early, but a 44% growth rate is indeed impressive.
