In January this year, El Salvador’s Congress passed the “Digital Asset Issuance Law”, becoming the first country in the world to legalize Bitcoin. This law provides a legal basis for digital asset issuance and also lays the legal foundation for the $1 billion Bitcoin bond proposed by President Nayib Bukele as early as 2021. This move further paves the way for the issuance of "volcano bonds".
The bill also authorizes the government to establish CNAD, which is responsible for approving and supervising all publicly issued digital assets.
Today, the issuance of Volcano Bonds has made important progress. El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) announced that the $1 billion Volcano Bond has received regulatory approval from the Digital Assets Commission and is expected to be officially issued in the first quarter of 2024.
