The National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador announced that this new educational program will be implemented during the upcoming school period. The program, produced in partnership with Wespark, seeks to explain bitcoin and money concepts to public school students in a simple way.
El Salvador Finalizes Bitcoin Diploma 2.0 Program Development Phase
El Salvador is on the verge of expanding its bitcoin and money programs with a new educational development.
The National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) of El Salvador recently announced the completion of its Bitcoin Diploma 2.0 educational program, an overhaul of prior attempts to bring bitcoin and money concepts to Salvadoran public schools.
The program, developed in partnership with innovation agency Wespark, explains the story of money and the rise of bitcoin in the simplest way possible, avoiding technical jargon.
Nelson Inno, Wespark founder, stated:
“What we need is a learning process that accelerates adoption, that simplifies what seems complicated.”
The goal of this program is to grow the financial and monetary literacy of Salvadoran students with various tools, including integrated visualizations and over 2,000 images.
ONBTC highlighted that the contents of this new program are purely educational and don’t promote any investment advice. The program will not only be available for public schools, but also to the general public seeking to learn more about bitcoin.
Teachers are also part of this program, as ONBTC confirmed that it will organize training sessions to help prepare them to deliver bitcoin-related content in classrooms.
According to local reports, ONBTC has not detailed the number of schools implementing this program, the program’s budget, or the evaluation method to be applied to students.
Since El Salvador hopped onto the bitcoin bus in 2021, declaring it legal tender, the government has also been involved in several educational programs to bring bitcoin knowledge to Salvadorans.
These include the “What is money?” program, designed for elementary school students, and the CUBO+ initiative, focused on training Salvadoran professionals to become high-level bitcoin and Lightning Network (LN) developers to be recruited by foreign or national companies in the cryptocurrency industry.

BTC falls 0.49% in 15 minutes: fragile long leverage and active sell-off pressure resonate to weigh on the short term
From 18:00 to 18:15 (UTC) on 2026-04-17, the BTC price fluctuated and trended downward within the 77097.4 to 77573.2 USDT range. Over these 15 minutes, the return rate recorded -0.49%, and the amplitude reached 0.61%. During this period, market trading was active; short-term volatility was amplified, and trading attention increased significantly. The main driver behind this abnormal move is that the overall leverage structure is bearish and long positions are fragile. At present, the BTC perpetual contract funding rate has remained negative for 11 consecutive days, indicating that the bears have the upper hand in the market. In addition, futures open interest (OI) is about 628.3 billion USDT, which is at a historical high. During the anomaly window, trading volume increased noticeably. On-chain data shows large amounts of BTC flowing from long-term holder addresses to exchanges, suggesting that active sell orders may have triggered longs to passively reduce positions, amplifying downward price pressure. Moreover, institutional positioning enthusiasm in the mainstream contract market has cooled off; liquidity boundaries have tightened, causing large-trade activity to have an amplified effect on market volatility. In the options market, implied volatility rose to 39.81%, increasing demand for downside protection and reflecting a defensive posture among market participants. Macro-environment volatility and some capital flowing into safe-haven assets, together with the recent regulatory uncertainty-related historical events, reinforced the move, pushing overall market risk appetite lower. Current BTC leverage risks still remain. If, in the future, there are concentrated sell-offs, volatility may be further amplified. It is recommended to continue monitoring sustained high OI levels, the persistence of negative funding rates, and on-chain transfers of large amounts of funds, and to stay alert for whale behavior and any disruptions to market sentiment caused by macro-policy developments. For subsequent price action, please watch key support levels, institutional and whale on-chain moves, and relevant global market news, and guard against short-term risks.
