People keep reporting on the IMF talking positively about crypto, which is funny because they could just link to the blog post and let it speak for itself. Most of the positivity in the post revolves around CBDCs. However, they were fairly neutral on the topic of Bitcoin adoption in the region, which is a clear departure from their past negative statements.

It is important to keep in mind this is just a blog post, not an official IMF statement. So, while it’s a positive development, it’s important to take it for what it is.

(edit: Link broke when I added the image, I have fixed the link so that it now properly goings to the original article)
