Central African Republic Debuts Meme Coin ‘Experiment’

Central African Republic has launched a meme coin in what President Faustin-Archange Touadera said was a bid to raise the profile of one of the world’s poorest countries.Touadera announced the move on X late on Sunday, nearly three years after his government became the first in Africa and the second in the world behind El Salvador to adopt bitcoin as legal tender.
Despite rich reserves of gold and diamonds, Central African Republic is deeply impoverished and undeveloped and has been gripped by rebel violence for years.
The $CAR meme coin is “an experiment designed to show how something as simple as a meme can unite people, support national development, and put the Central African Republic on the world stage in a unique way,” Touadera said on X.
A separate account created for updates and announcements on $CAR was suspended by X as of Monday morning, and Touadera said the government was trying to get it back online as soon as possible. The $CAR token was trading at $0.22 on Monday morning, according to cryptocy price tracker CoinGecko.
