El Salvador’s bitcoin bonds, named “Volcano bonds,” are set for a Q1 2024 launch on Bitfinex Securities, following regulatory approval by the Digital Assets Commission (CNAD). President Bukele confirmed the news via social media, aiming to raise $1 billion for a bitcoin-backed initiative tied to renewable energy from volcanoes. This follows El Salvador’s recent move with the “Freedom VISA,” granting residency to investors in bitcoin or USDT stablecoins.
