It seems that Tonga will be the first one of two countries in 2022.

Besides Tonga, there are chances that Turkey may adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. However, all these are based on prediction because officially the Turkish government is planning to bring legislation on crypto adoption under the regulatory framework. But on the other hand, saving the Turkish Lira is going to be challenging.
