最新报道:According to Financefeeds, on September 18th, the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) launched a regulatory module for stablecoin issuance and offerings (SIOs), marking the first comprehensive regulatory framework of its kind in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The framework only permits fiat-collateralized stablecoins, which can be pegged to the Bahraini dinar, the US dollar, or other fiat currencies explicitly approved by the central bank. Algorithmic or commodity-collateralized stablecoins are prohibited. Issuers must obtain a central bank license and meet strict prudential standards, including maintaining reserves in high-quality liquid assets and undergoing regular external audits. Regulation covers the entire ecosystem, including custodians, wallet providers, and payment service providers. The framework is aligned with international standards, with a particular emphasis on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements.
