萨尔瓦多的 Chivo 钱包背后是墨西哥交易所 Bitso 吗？
The mystery of the Chivo wallet persists. And Bitso comes into the picture as part of a more credible report confirmed through official channels. It seems like NewsBTC was right to doubt Forbes’s article about BitGo being behind the Chivo wallet. This Reuters report, on the other hand, comes with specific information and quotes confirming the news. For example:
Bitso for Business 副总裁圣地亚哥·阿尔瓦拉多 (Santiago Alvarado) 表示：“我们期待与萨尔瓦多合作实施一项举措，该举措将改变该国的支付结构并提高金融包容性。”

即使这可能被认为是回避，但它并不是专门指 Chivo 钱包。另一方面，这些大块的信息几乎没有留下任何想象空间。
“Bitso 表示将与美国联邦监管的加州特许银行 Silvergate Bank 合作，以促进美元交易。”
从语言上看，他们正在谈论生意。
El Salvador made history by becoming the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender, and today, we’re proud to announce that Bitso is committed to building and developing El Salvador’s vision of Bitcoin by being the core crypto-service provider for Chivo.Let’s #MakeCryptoUseful https://t.co/2rrTNDdXab

如果 Bitso 是钱包的幕后黑手，那么 BitGo 又如何呢？On the other hand, in the BitGo report, the language suggested otherwise. The quote from BitGo’s CEO was non-comital and it all sounded like a paid press release. NewsBTC questioned:
“然而，最令人担忧的一句话是“福布斯了解到萨尔瓦多似乎已经利用了……”他们在这里没有做出任何承诺。它“看起来”是这样，但没有什么是确定的。”
However, could both companies be involved? Reuters says Bitso will be “the core service provider for Chivo.” Forbes said that BitGo would “provide Chivo’s wallet infrastructure and security platform.” Are both of these statements contradictory? Or are both of these giant companies behind the controversial Chivo wallet?
A funny detail is that Bitso’s name was present in the leak of the Chivo wallet’s architecture that our sister site Bitcoinist reported on. BitGo’s name wasn’t. And Athena was at the center of the whole operation. Still, it’s a funny detail.
One thing’s for sure, Strike seems to be completely out of the picture. In a recent Twitter thread, Strike’s CEO Jack Mallers clearly said “Strike has no business relationship with Chivo wallet or any of their ATMs.”
All that was needed was interoperability with the #Bitcoin 网络。
Strike has no business relationship with @chivowallet or any of their ATMs.
We simply both integrated and operate on top of the same, singular, payment standard that is #Bitcoin 和闪电网络。

Mallers seems to be perfectly fine with the situation. “With the Bitcoin network, there is one singular, open standard for the world,” he says later on in the thread.

He said their eyes were on remittances and that:
“Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are the countries that would have the most to gain if the adoption of bitcoin lowered the cost of sending remittances.” All countries in his organization’s area of influence.
Instead of focusing on how much Salvadorans are going to get back, a recent report about how much Western Union is going to lose with El Salvador’s Bitcoin move recently made the news. About it, Bitcoinist said:
“随着 bitcoin though, the middleman, in this case, Western Union and the likes, are completely removed from the process. The funds sent go directly to the recipient without the need for a processing fee to a third party. It is estimated that these remittance companies are set to lose about $400 million a year when remittances are routed through bitcoin 反而。”

As it turns out, remittances are Bitso ’s specialty. The company processed “more than $1.2 billion in remittances between the United States and Mexico in 2020.” In the article, Reuters quotes Santiago Alvarado again:
“作为该地区领先的加密货币交易所，我们很高兴能为萨尔瓦多人带来我们在汇款以及安全和低摩擦金融服务方面的经验。”
所以，这一切都是有道理的。尽管如此，Chivo 钱包的神秘面纱仍在继续。
