Central African Republic will start selling a cryptocurrency it says will be worth $21 million next week, it said on Friday, amid a wider rout in the industry and scepticism over the project's feasibility in a poorly connected, war-torn country.

The "Sango Coin", described as a "national digital currency" will go on sale on July 21 with a minimum investment of $500 to be paid in cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin and ethereum, according to the country's Sango investment website.

The doubts and what has been labelled the "crypto winter" do not seem to have lessened the Central African Republic government's enthusiasm for its scheme. El Salvador last September became the first country to make bitcoin a legal tender, alongside the U.S. dollar, despite criticism by the IMF and credit agencies.In the Central African Republic's initiative, foreign investors will be able to buy citizenship for $60,000 worth of crypto, with the equivalent Sango Coins held as collateral for five years, and "e-residency" for $6,000, held for three years, according to the Sango website.
