05/18 18:50

Singapore-based investment firm Whampoa Group plans to open a digital bank in Bahrain that will offer payment and settlement services for crypto firms. The bank will provide banking services, as well as trading, custody, and asset management of digital tokens. The government of Bahrain confirmed that Whampoa Group has received "an in principle approval" from the nation’s central bank for the venture. Whampoa Group's move into the digital asset sector comes at a time when many lenders are wary of working with crypto firms following the recent meltdown that saw some high-profile crypto companies collapse. Bahrain, Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong are competing to become global crypto hubs.
