0.7% penetration rate, 44% growth rate, this curve is interesting.

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.
