Cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex expects El Salvador to issue its long-awaited “volcano” token this year after the nation’s congress approved a law in December to enable the world’s first sovereign blockchain bond.

The volcano token will be a bond that will be issued using blockchain technology, and which will trade on Bitfinex’s exchange.
