The island country located in the Caribbean region – Saint Kitts and Nevis – plans to turn Bitcoin Cash (BCH) into an official payment method inside its borders by March next year.
The announcement positively affected the asset’s price, which jumped above $100.
- The Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis – Terrance Micheal Drew – disclosed that the government is willing to engage with Bitcoin Cash mining and make the asset legal tender on local soil by March 2023.
- The leader opined that the cryptocurrency represents “future opportunities” and said the initiative will go live once regulators guarantee consumers will have maximum protection.
Тоа штотуку го објави премиерот на Сент Китс и Невис 🇰🇳 # BitcoinCash ќе стане законско средство за плаќање во неговата земја до март 2023 година. Голем чекор за BCH бидејќи ниту една нација не може да ги забрани валутите на другите нации. Следно е масовното користење со неверојатни нови апликации. pic.twitter.com/WjnaZxGv50

- BCH jumped to around $103 immediately following the speech and still trades above $100. Still, this is far away from the 2021 price levels when it surpassed $1,500. The all-time high occurred in 2017 when it traded at over $4,300.
- Bitcoin is the only digital asset that currently serves as legal tender. The first country to прифатат it was El Salvador in 2021.
- Централноафриканската Република следи suit this year. The President of the nation – Faustin-Archange Touadéra – тврди that “bitcoin’s “disruptive power” will bring “long-term prosperity.” He also urged people to understand the benefits of the asset as it could serve as a lifeboat during the ongoing adverse economic times.
