Just In: National Bank Of Bahrain Launches Bitcoin Investment Fund

As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience in this dynamic industry, I find the recent move by the National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) to launch the GCC’s first Bitcoin-linked Structured investment incredibly exciting! Being an early adopter myself, I’ve witnessed the evolution of digital currencies from a niche concept to a global phenomenon.


In collaboration with APR Digital, The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has initiated the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) initial Structured investment linked to Bitcoin. This fund offers accredited investors an opportunity to invest in the prominent cryptocurrency. Furthermore, this move significantly accelerates Bitcoin adoption within the country as Bahrain currently ranks among the countries with the highest Bitcoin holdings.
