El Salvador has once again reaffirmed its commitment to Bitcoin, this time by making a symbolic purchase of 21 BTC – worth about $2.3 million – to mark the fourth anniversary of its Bitcoin Law.

President Nayib Bukele announced the buy on social media, describing it as a way to honor “Bitcoin Day,” the moment in 2021 when the country first recognized BTC as legal tender.

Reserves Keep Growing Despite Criticism

The latest acquisition lifts the nation’s Bitcoin holdings to more than 6,300 BTC, valued at just over $700 million. For months, the government’s National Bitcoin Office has also been quietly adding to reserves with a one-BTC-per-day accumulation plan, showing that its strategy is not merely symbolic but systematic.

Security and Regulation Updates

The celebration comes shortly after El Salvador distributed its holdings across 14 wallets as a safeguard against potential future risks, including so-called quantum threats. At the same time, lawmakers approved new legislation giving major banks and financial institutions the green light to offer Bitcoin and digital asset services to professional investors.

IMF Disagreement Lingers

The continued buying runs counter to statements made in July by the finance ministry and central bank, which told the IMF that public purchases had ended earlier this year under the terms of a loan deal. Bukele, however, has repeatedly dismissed outside pressure, insisting in March that accumulation “won’t stop now, and it won’t stop in the future.”

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
