Many countries around the globe are beginning to show interest in crypto and Bitcoin-related investment products.
Just recently, the National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has announced a collaboration with APR Digital to roll out the GCC’s inaugural Bitcoin-linked structured investment fund.
This initiative aims to provide accredited investors with direct exposure to Bitcoin, reinforcing the country’s commitment to enhancing cryptocurrency adoption. Currently, Bahrain is recognized as one of the nations with significant Bitcoin holdings.
This new investment fund is a pioneering effort in the GCC region, which includes Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Hisham AlKurdi, NBB’s Group Chief Executive for Markets & Client Solutions, expressed enthusiasm about this structured investment, highlighting its blend of digital asset exposure and capital protection.
He stated that the product exemplifies the bank’s dedication to delivering innovative and secure investment options for wealth management clients.
Bitcoin is firmly trading above the $100,000 level, drawing renewed optimism from investors while also raising caution among analysts watching for potential turbulence ahead.
Metaplanet has stepped up its commitment to Bitcoin by securing $21.25 million through its latest bond offering, the company’s 14th in a series of ongoing capital raises tied to its aggressive crypto strategy.
Bitcoin has reached a major benchmark in its battle against traditional financial benchmarks, with its value relative to the S&P 500 hitting a record high of 17.725 on May 8.
A well-regarded crypto analyst believes that Bitcoin (BTC) could experience a final, explosive rally before the current market cycle concludes.
