The Central African Republic (CAR) government has given a 15-member team the task of drafting a crypto bill. The creation of a legislative framework and an ecosystem model for its citizens’ use of cryptocurrencies and other tokens is required of the crypto committee.
The president of CAR, Faustin-Archange Touadera, thinks cryptocurrency has the potential to revolutionize the economy of the nation. According to Toudera, the availability of cryptocurrency will remove the financial obstacles stifling the country’s growth.
He added that the crypto bill would present CAR with a rare chance to advance its economy and technology. In a tweet released on Friday, the president said that he would be in charge of the 15-member expert panel in numerous CAR sectors when it came to drafting the legislation.
The other seasoned members would come from five CAR ministries, including the Ministry of Mines and Geology, the Ministry of Waters, Forest, Hunting, and Fishing.
Since quite some time, the Central African Republic has taken the lead in promoting the use of cryptocurrencies and even the tokenization of the local economy.
The nation is a carbon copy of El Salvador. Following the lead of the Nayib Bukele-led administration, the CAR approved bitcoin as legal cash in April 2022 after enacting the “bitcoin law.”
Toudera has a number of strategies in place in an effort to boost the CAR economy, and this adoption was just one of them. Others included the nation’s mineral riches being tokenized and the early 2019 launch of the Sango Coin token on cryptocurrency markets.
In June 2022, tokenization officially began. A variety of minerals were tokenized, including gold, copper, diamond, graphite, iron, limestone, and kaolin.
The country’s economy could change as a result of the establishment of the CBDC. Africa still has a growing demand and need for cryptocurrencies despite the unfavorable market conditions.
