The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that it has reached a staff-level agreement with El Salvador’s authorities on the combined second and third reviews under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF). If approved by the IMF Executive Board, El Salvador will receive approximately $140 million (equivalent to SDR 101.96 million). Regarding Bitcoin-related arrangements, the IMF confirmed several key facts: the Chivo e-wallet has largely withdrawn from public participation, with most ownership and operational control transferred to private operators; Bitcoin holdings added since the first review have been verified via documents to come from private donations, with no public funds used; El Salvador has committed it will not acquire any additional Bitcoin in the future beyond the already recorded private donations. The two sides also reached an understanding on modernizing the legal, regulatory and supervisory framework for digital assets, as well as strengthening governance and risk management arrangements for public sector crypto asset holdings. Structural reforms including pension reform, civil service reform, strengthening the central bank’s institutional and financial standing, and enhancing anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) frameworks will continue to advance. The IMF emphasized that strong program ownership and timely implementation of reforms remain critical for further bolstering macroeconomic stability and resilience, and creating conditions for sustainable, inclusive private-sector-led growth.

Vibe Coding is drastically lowering barriers to software development. With AI programming tools, a single developer can complete work that previously required a small product and engineering team in a short time. However, in a recent article, X-Agent argues that for One-Person Companies (OPCs), what’s truly scarce is no longer productivity, but rather demand, trust, and distribution. Being able to quickly build a demo does not mean it will integrate into real user or other agents’ workflows. Rather than building a full SaaS from scratch—including a website, login, backend, subscription, and customer support systems—developers can start with a clear, practical, callable capability: encapsulate data analysis, market research, automated workflows, or AI tools into MCP services, so that agents can understand what it does, when to call it, what inputs are required, and what results it returns. This is exactly the focus of the X-Agent AI MCP Hackathon. The event is not a competition to build the most complex MCP server; instead, it aims to help developers upgrade real, usable APIs, tools, or services into agent-native services with clear capability boundaries, stable interfaces, verifiable deployments, and sustained productization potential. X-Agent believes that the most important thing in the agent economy is not just "launching a service", but making it reliable enough to be discovered, trusted, and repeatedly called by other agents. For OPCs, the real advantage is not stacking more features, but capturing market signals faster than large companies and translating professional capabilities into digital services that generate sustained value. A question worth every developer’s consideration is: Will another agent actually need to call your capabilities?
