- CAR started its Sango Coin sale on Monday
- One day collection of the sale was recorded as $1.09 million
The Sango coin, also known as the “national digital currency” of the Central African Republic, is on sale from Monday, June 25. The sale gained just $1.09 million in 24 hours of the offer.
The Central African Republic’s government introduced the digital coins with the expectation of raising about $1 billion from its sales in less than a year. Out of the tokens valuing $21 million, which were initially offered for sale, only $1.09 million were sold out in 24 hours.
One of the reasons for a gradual start of sales might be the result of the sinking crypto industry. On the other hand, it could be affected by many groups’ disapproval of the Sango project.
Reactions to the Sango
After having a slow start and a low trading volume in the first 24 hours, many market shareholders gave a lack of transparency and non-discussion with the most significant shareholders as a reason to fail in the sale.
Joseph Edwards, who is the Head of Financial Strategy, said: “A project, especially crypto, which cannot sell its initial coins, is not a good sign.”
Dissimilarly, Muna, a local crypto investor, commented: “The project “Sango” will bring a rise of the African Continent.”

Relation between CAR and the Sango Project
On April 27, the Central African Republic accepted Bitcoin as a legal tender for its country. Thus, it became the first African country to accept Bitcoin.
El Salvador and the International Monetary Fund were against the decision and recommended shifting towards other options. The Bank of Central African States also disagreed with the step and stated:
“The move opposes the agreements and contracts ruling the Central African Monetary Union.”
The statements did not make any difference in CAR’s decision as it continued to adopt Bitcoin and introduced Sango. The natural resources of the country will be used for the Sango blockchain.
The government of CAR is willing to make the country a local crypto center with the Sango Coin, which will eventually help the crypto lovers of the nation. Cyberspace will build a small space for the enthusiasts, similar to a small space in the physical world.
The CAR’s government has promised its clients to have many advantages of investing in the project. The advantages will include earning an e-Residency permit, and the transactions like electricity bills, municipality taxes, and land sales taxes can easily be done using the Sango coin.
