According to PANews, the National Bank of Bahrain has announced the launch of the first Bitcoin-linked structured investment product. This new financial product is specifically designed for institutional investors within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The product has been developed in collaboration with digital asset company ARP Digital.
The investment product aims to provide exposure to Bitcoin returns within a predetermined threshold while offering 100% loss protection in the event of a downturn. This initiative marks a significant step in integrating digital assets into the financial portfolios of institutional investors in the Middle East, reflecting a growing interest in cryptocurrency investments in the region.
