According to Decrypt, the Central African Republic (CAR) is currently incorporating Solana Meme Coin in one of the most critical national programs. The program will convert 1,700 hectares into digital assets on the Solana blockchain. This land near western Bangui will be accessible only to buyers using the $CAR token, a Solana-based meme coin founded in 2024.
The combination of land access, crypto payment, and government-backed digital ownership makes this initiative quite sweeping. It has already aroused interest from global and regional crypto watchers and investors as it could herald a change in the way nations treat national resources, in this case, getting them under blockchain.
Why the Central African Republic (CAR) Chose Solana Meme Coin
It was not an arbitrary selection by Central African Republic (CAR) to use Solana Meme Coin. Solana boasts fast speeds and low fees, making it convenient for users in less developed technology countries.
Initially, the $CAR token, a Solana Meme Coin, was a digital asset marketed to communities, but now, it carries national programs. Digital land rights will be issued exclusively for purchases made using the $CAR token, starting in June 2025, according to a decree by President Faustin-Archange Touadéra.
A supply structure already built into this token will thus ensure its development. According to the whitepaper of the project team, about 35% of the total supply of the coin is geared towards economic usability projects.
What Experts Are Saying About the $CAR Token
As CoinShares’ crypto analyst James Butterfill observes, asset-backed tokens are particularly thriving in emerging economies.
Cointelegraph quoted James Butterfill as saying:
“It’s rare to see meme coins used for official programs, but this one has real backing.”
The incorporation of a Solana Meme Coin into government policy is indicative of how some countries are beginning to adopt cryptocurrencies beyond just speculation.
Rachel Lin, an analyst at SynFutures, concurs. She explained that:
“Linking a meme coin to state-controlled land is one way to give actual value to the token.”
As of May 30, 2025, the Central African Republic Meme ($CAR) token is trading at $0.054429 USD, reflecting a 13.39% increase over the past 24 hours. (CoinMarketCap)

This significant price increase aligns with the recent announcement by the Central African Republic (CAR) to tokenize 1,700 hectares of land near Bangui, making it accessible exclusively through the $CAR token. The initiative has garnered global attention, positioning $CAR as a unique case where a meme coin is integrated into national policy.

Land Tokenization and Future Use Cases
In this project, land can now be claimed digitally by certified buyers. Its transactions are held online with the Solana Meme Coin. The rights to digital land are registered under the public blockchain of Solana. It gives buyers a safe, digital title which cannot be edited or removed.
Reports indicate that the bulk of the land will likely be in resource-rich areas. This could lead to gold, diamonds, and other mineral types of development. With tokenized access, foreign investors can now tap into these operations without going through a maze of paperwork.
The move by the Central African Republic is likely to adopt Web3 services widely across the continent. This could offer a new template for resource-rich developing countries eager to digitize land and natural assets.
Risks and Challenges Ahead
Most lawyers are not convinced that there is strength in meme coins being possible anchors for serious government plans. Elizabeth Renieris, a digital rights expert, told The Block that the legal standing of blockchain-based land ownership remains uncertain.
Another problem involves access: much of the rural areas of the Central African Republic have rather little access to the internet. This may limit the range of people able to participate in the token-based land program. Education and tech outreach will be vital to building public confidence.
Also, there are still questions about how disputes will be resolved: blockchain can show who bought what, but legal systems still have to enforce ownership actions.
Conclusion
The Central African Republic has taken a bold step in using a Solana Meme Coin to provide land access. What began as a meme coin project has, in theory, been transformed into a driver of national policy. By tying digital assets to physical land, the Central African Republic is experimenting with a new model of ownership, transparency, and investment.
Indeed, the use of blockchain and meme coin economics could make land much more accessible and corruption resistant. This will overhaul ownership rights and possibly bring public trust into the currency system as a useful tool for governance.
The $CAR token is attaining real value, price momentum, and interest among crypto people and development watchers alike. Whether this will become a yardstick for other projects or will even experience obstacles will depend on its execution and transparency.
Either way, the Central African Republic and its Solana meme coin are under the spotlight – and they aren’t going unnoticed.
