According to Khalid Al Rumaihi, the chief executive of the Economic Development Board of Bahrain, the adoption of digital currencies in the Bahrain system was eventually proposed through the ministry of finance of the country. This has lead to a conclusion of the issue of "bonds for the digital currency." Rumaihi said that Bahrain was "open to Bitcoin" in response to a request made at the MIT Innovation Forum last Wednesday in Manama. By adding to being open to cryptocurrencies and their potential in the country, a regulatory sandbox is a key that allows experimenting in a controlled environment, such as an island country.
Furthermore, the Bahrain Central Bank recently put in place a regulatory sandbox. So far, four companies applied, and two had already received approval. The change of digital currency in the Middle East is seen on a positive note that any country can develop into a more advanced country. |
