The court said the sango-coin-for-citizenship scheme must be stopped because the country\u2019s \u201cnationality has no market value.\u201d<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Offering Land and Minerals to Sango Coin Investors Ruled Unconstitutional<\/h2>\n<p>\n<br \/>\nIn a ruling likely to derail the Central African Republic (CAR)\u2019s crypto ambitions, a constitutional court has ruled that the government\u2019s plan to offer full citizenship to investors in its sango coin cryptocurrency is illegal. In addition, the court said the government\u2019s offer of land and access to minerals such as gold to sango coin buyers is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>According to the court, the country\u2019s \u201cnationality has no market value,\u201d hence President Faustin-Archange Touad\u00e9ra\u2019s government must stop promising citizenship to investors that buy sango coins worth $60,000.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Government Says It Respects Court\u2019s Decision<\/h2>\n<p>\n<br \/>\nReacting to the ruling, a spokesman for the CAR presidency, Albert Yaloke Mokpeme, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-08-29\/court-stymies-african-bitcoin-adopter-s-gold-for-crypto-offer\">reportedly<\/a> said the government will now look for other ways of rewarding sango coin holders with land and citizenship. He said:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We respect the court\u2019s decision and we\u2019re now looking at another way to offer land and citizenship to investors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<br \/>\nAt the time of writing, President Touad\u00e9ra, who has regularly tweeted about his government\u2019s ambitions, has not issued a statement. On the other hand, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sango.org\/\">website<\/a> tracking sango coin sales shows that there are over 194 million unsold coins more than a month after the token sale commenced.<\/p>\n<p><em>Register your email here to get a weekly update on African news sent to your inbox:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What are your thoughts on this story?
