El Salvador first passed the landmark legislation providing the legal framework for the Bitcoin-backed bond on Jan. 11. The Volcano Bond is intended to pay down sovereign debt and fund the construction of the country’s proposed “Bitcoin City.”

El Salvador recently launched a Bitcoin mining project, worth $1 billion, which will tap into the country’s volcanic resources through a partnership with Luxor Technology.
