Central African Republic Is Second Nation To Adopt BTC As Legal Tender

Following the amazing example of El Salvador, Central African Republic is now the second nation ever that accepted Bitcoin as legal tender. This is yet another sign that the crypto adoption is going great.

It’s been just revealed that an African country has become the second nation on Earth to accept Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto-assets as legal currency.

Following the example led by Latin American nation El Salvador, the Central African Republic (CAR) has announced it has become the first African nation in the world to legally support cryptocurrencies.

In a recent statement released by the nation, CAR President Faustin-Archange Touadera explained the fact that the African state plans to be a trailblazer in terms of creating a regulatory framework for cryptos such as Bitcoin en route to building a prosperous economy.

“The President of the Republic [and] Head of State will support all necessary efforts, in compliance with the law, in order to complete this process which places the Central African Republic on the map of the most courageous and visionary countries in the world [that have accepted] cryptocurrency as means of payment.”

The same notes continued and said that the Central African Republic is not only the first country in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as its benchmark currency but also the first country in the world to unanimously adopt the bill that governs cryptocurrency.

“We are setting out on a new path that will mark a new stage for our country while being aware of the difficulties that we will have to face to pursue our mission…”

The notes also revealed the following:

“We are thinking first and foremost about how the lives of our fellow citizens will change and about the means needed to create a stable and prosperous economy.”

Bitcoin adoption continues to explode despite the massive volatility that we have been seeing in the crypto market.

Regarding the price of Bitcoin these days, at the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading in the red, and the king coin is priced at $38,974.
