The Miss Universe 2023 contestant from El Salvador, Alejandra Guajardo, surprised viewers Wednesday night with her choice of costume. Guajardo walked onto the stage in the 71st Miss Universe National Costume Show wearing a costume representing \u201cthe evolution of the Salvadoran currency,\u201d the Miss Universe El Salvador official Instagram account described, adding that the outfit is designed by Francisco Guerrero.<\/p>\n

Miss El Salvador\u2019s national costume features cacao beans, the col\u00f3n, the U.S. dollar, and the Bitcoin symbol. Originally, cacao was used as currency in El Salvador. The col\u00f3n became the official currency of El Salvador from 1892 until it was replaced by the U.S. dollar in January 2001. The costume\u2019s predominant colors are gold, silver, and bronze.<\/p>\n

Now bitcoin is legal tender in El Salvador alongside the U.S. dollar. El Salvador became the first country to make the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency legal tender in September 2021. Since then, the country, led by the pro-bitcoin president Nayib Bukele, has purchased<\/a> thousands of BTC<\/a> for its treasury. In November last year, Bukele announced that his country will buy bitcoin every day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Salvadoran legislative assembly passed the digital asset issuance law that was proposed last November. It includes a new regulatory framework for the issuance of bitcoin-backed Volcano bonds. \u201cThis new digital asset regulatory framework paves the way for its much anticipated Volcano token issuance,\u201d according to Bitfinex<\/a>, which will be a technology provider for the nation\u2019s Volcano token.<\/p>\n
