Vanuatu’s Prime Minister Bob Loughman has given “a green light” to develop the initiative. The authorities have already received 50 000 applications for the crypto island’s citizenship in the form of NFT.
What is known about the project? Satoshi Island is an island for crypto enthusiasts to live on. It will be created in the South Pacific, where traditional currencies will be replaced by digital assets. Self-regulation issues will be managed by decentralized autonomous organizations.
