CoinCorner Sets Up Shop In El Salvador, Offers Bitcoin And Lightning Services

Huge move by the CoinCorner team. They waited until the Bitcoin Amsterdam Conference to announce their biggest expansion yet. The company opened up shop in El Salvador AKA Bitcoin country. Considering the level of bitcoinization that CoinCorner has accomplished in the Isle Of Man, this might be one of those stories that turn out to be really important down the line. The company comes wielding its headlining product, The Bolt Card, a contactless Lightning card.

¡Hola y bienvenido, El Salvador! 🇸🇻
From today, residents of El Salvador can open a CoinCorner account and access our full range of Bitcoin and Lighting services, including full functionality for our contactless Bitcoin Lightning card, The Bolt Card ⚡️https://t.co/sq09ohEtV8

“From today, residents of El Salvador will be able to open an account and access CoinCorner’s full range of Bitcoin and Lighting services. USDT will also be available on the platform for El Salvador users, as well as full functionality for The Bolt Card.”

This is huge for bitcoin, because The Bolt Card will drive adoption. It’s huge for El Salvador, because its citizens will not have to even open the Chivo Wallet. And huge for CoinCorner, that now h
