Bahrain's official page describes a CBB framework for crypto-asset services, including reception and transmission of orders, trading as agent or principal, advice, portfolio management, custody, operating an exchange, and digital-token advice. In July 2025 the CBB announced a framework to license and regulate single-currency stablecoin issuers. These sources describe regulatory frameworks; they do not authorise a specific brand or prove a service's current status. Verify directly with the CBB before sending funds or providing services.
