According to Samson Mow (@Excellion), El Salvador experienced high crime rates with approximately 46 murders in 72 hours during the early days of its Bitcoin adoption in 2021, necessitating security measures for visitors. However, Mow notes that following significant improvements in public safety, El Salvador is now considered very safe, which has enhanced investor confidence and accelerated Bitcoin-related business activity in the region (Source: Samson Mow on Twitter, May 30, 2025). This increased security has been a catalyst for greater institutional and retail engagement in El Salvador's crypto sector, supporting higher trading volumes and more robust market infrastructure.
