230 million Jamaican dollars were minted
After beginning initial testing of the CBDC prototype in March 2021, the Central Bank of Jamaica ended an eight-month pilot project last Friday, the Jamaica Information Service reported. Under the pilot project, the central bank minted 230 million Jamaican dollars ($1.5 million) of CBDC to deposit-taking institutions and authorized payment service providers on August 9, 2021.The central bank then issued JMD 1 million ($6,500) worth of digital currency to BoJ's banking department employees. On October 29, the bank also issued CBDC worth JMD 5 million ($32,000) to the National Commercial Bank (NCB), one of Jamaica's largest financial institutions. According to the report, NCB was the first wallet provider in Jamaica's CBDC pilot and has enrolled 57 customers, including four small merchants and 53 consumers.
Nationwide rollout in the first quarter of 2022
The BoJ is now planning a nationwide rollout in the first quarter of 2022 and expects to add two new wallet providers. These vendors have already conducted virtual simulation tests and would order CBDC from the BoJ and then distribute it to their customers. The report said that the central bank also plans to focus on interoperability by testing transactions between customers of different wallet providers.The Central Bank of Jamaica selected Irish cryptographic security company eCurrency Mint as the technology provider for its digital currency project in March 2021. The company is known for having been involved in developing the CBDC in countries such as Senegal and the Philippines. The BoJ had invited applications from technology providers for its CBDC project back in July 2020.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
