Currency.com, a global exchange website, announced on May 7 that it would include a tokenized form of Belarusian government bonds in its platform. A press report revealed that users could invest and trade in Belarusian government bonds using fiat money or cryptocurrencies bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH).

Per token costs $1000. One token represents one bond. Reportedly, there will be 252 bonds with a 4.2% per annum yield introduced to the exchange.
Viktor Prokopenya, Co-Founder of Currency.com, credited Decree No.8 from the Belarusian legislation in 2018. As per Prokopenya, it provided clear guidelines for the blockchain industry. He said:
“All this was made possible by the progressive Decree No. 8 ‘On the Development of a Digital Economy’ that was ratified in Belarus in 2018, affirming the country’s commitment to playing a big role in the next chapter of the technological revolution.”
