此次出售标志着Chivo的转变——该钱包由政府在2021年比特币成为法定货币后直接建设和资助,但采用率有限且经常出现技术问题。
The sale marks a shift for Chivo, which the government built and funded directly after bitcoin's 2021 legal-tender rollout but which drew limited adoption and recurring technical problems.
将多数控制权交给私营合作伙伴表明,萨尔瓦多当局正在逐步退出钱包的日常运营管理。
Handing majority control to a private partner signals Salvadoran authorities are stepping back from directly running the wallet's day-to-day operations.
