Buying citizenship using cryptocurrencies is illegal
Despite the groundbreaking idea of developing an all-in-one app for CAR citizens and inviting the brightest crypto-minds to a tax-exempt innovation hub, the Sango project has been slowed down by the CAR government. Indeed, on August 30, 2022, the CAR Supreme Court vetoed the initiative of the pro-cryptocurrency president to sell electronic residency and citizenship via Sango Coin, the original token of the African country’s revolutionary project.
In fact, the Sango crypto project aims to bring in a $3 trillion market for cryptocurrency investors by tokenizing the entire country, including the natural resources. Currently in cycle 3, the Sango project now offers crypto investors:
- Electronic residence with three years of Sango Coin service.
- Land and property with five years shares of Sango Coin.
- Full citizenship with ten years of Sango Coin.
Investors must register on the Sango platform to lock in the fixed collateral of their choice. According to the current Cycle 3 storage system, the amount of cryptocurrency or fiat spent on each Sango purchase will be returned after the specified period.

on the flip side
- Sango’s online presence isn’t maintained very well, as the official Sango Project Twitter account has only 66 followers since its launch.
- Social engagement regarding Sango coin seems to be very low, barely mentioning anything daily.
- Sango’s funding rounds didn’t go as planned. The fourth cycle was supposed to end by the end of 2022.
- Instead, it is still in Cycle 3, with 80% of Sango Coins still in circulation. Besides, it is still priced at the starting floor price of $0.19.
