The Digitnews portal assured that the president, Xiomara Castro, said that “we must not allow The Savior be the only country that escapes the hegemony of the dollar” and added: “Honduras has the right to approach First World countries.”

According to the Digitnews article, The adoption of Bitcoin as an official means of payment could significantly increase interest both in investment in the country’s economy and in the attractiveness of tourism in Honduras.

El Salvador was the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender along with the dollar. The Bitcoin Law was approved on June 8, 2021 by the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador, with 62 votes in favor and 19 votes against.

According to the Legislative Assembly, The approval of Bitcoin as legal tender happened “with the aim of generating employment opportunities, promoting true financial inclusion and generating economic dynamism.”
