Impact of the program on the global cryptocurrency market
The integration of blockchain into residency programs could change how countries attract foreign investment. Research suggests that using cryptocurrency investments for obtaining citizenship could influence future financial models and regulatory discussions.
The Toncoin and UAE Golden Visa program demonstrates a new pathway to residency for foreign investors, reshaping the paradigm of capital attraction through cryptocurrencies. This step could mark an important milestone in the global practice of residency by investment.
