Suriname may become a prominent crypto center and potentially adopt Bitcoin as its official currency, according to presidential candidate Maya Parbhoe. Parbhoe’s plan involves declaring Bitcoin (BTC) and its smallest unit, the satoshi, as legal tender, replacing the national currency. This ambitious approach could help Suriname surpass El Salvador’s efforts in the crypto world.
Parbhoe aims to make Suriname independent from traditional financial systems through a special committee led by Austrian economist Philip Baggis. The committee will coordinate the transition and create a roadmap for BTC integration, ensuring scalability and reliability. Parbhoe’s goal is to increase the country’s economic sovereignty and attract foreign capital.
While some question the feasibility of these changes, Parbhoe argues that Suriname’s small economy and population make it ideal for this financial experiment. Supporters believe that this move could position Suriname as a leader in digital innovation, attracting international interest and funding to the region.
