Bitcoin traders have found a way to use the recently launch Chivo App, the countries own BTC wallet, by El Salvador\u2019s government to make a profit. As part of their BTC Law, this app operates with the second layer payment solution lightning network.<\/p>\n

Via its official Twitter handle Chivo Wallet announced<\/a> that Salvadorans will be unable to track the price of BTC on the app. According to the report presented by the team behind the app, some users have been using it to do \u201cscalping\u201d.<\/p>\n

A type of short-term trading modality, scalping is performed by an operator to take advantage of an asset\u2019s price fluctuations in low timeframes. In previous versions, the app allowed users to \u201cfreeze\u201d the price of Bitcoin giving traders an edge to perform this practice by comparing it to exchange rates.<\/p>\n

The Chivo Wallet allows users to move BTC via the lightning network to other Chivo users or external BTC wallets. Thus, traders can make a profit by scalping the app\u2019s BTC price. The team behind the app clarified the following on the reasons for the decision:<\/p>\n

The “scalping” performed consisted of taking advantage of Chivo keeping the rate frozen for 1 minute and taking advantage of that minute to compare the rate with other exchanges and see if the Bitcoin price went down or up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the future, the price of Bitcoin will have limited visibility to prevent these operators from accessing what the team called \u201can unlimited source of money\u201d. The app will not ban trading itself, just the capacity to \u201cfreeze\u201d BTC\u2019s price on the platform.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, the team behind Chivo claimed that is working on adding a trading feature for the wallet. In the future, the app will let these operators trade with BTC with any modality, but with the asset\u2019s price display in real-time.<\/p>\n

However, Salvadorans can already profit from BTC exposure. Since the wallet was launched, when the government gave citizens a $30 bonus in the cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has increased its value by over 30%.<\/p>\n

Upon launch, El Salvador and its president Nayib Bukele surely underestimated or failed to consider crypto traders\u2019 capacity to leverage a situation for their benefit. It remains to be seen whether disabling BTC\u2019s price from the app will effectively stop scalpers.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, BTC trades at $$61,980 with a 1% profit in the daily and a 13.3% profit in the weekly charts, respectively. BTC\u2019s price remains in a rally and it\u2019s near $64,500, its all-time high.<\/p>\n
