The ruling includes, but is not limited to licensing, governance, anti-money laundering, avoidance of conflicts of interest, cybersecurity, and risk management, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Khalid Hamad, executive director of banking supervision at the central bank, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-02-25\/crypto-assets-get-arab-world-s-first-regulatory-nod-from-bahrain\">told<\/a> Bloomberg:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The introduction of the rules relating to crypto assets is in line with its goal to develop comprehensive rules for the fintech eco-system supporting Bahrain\u2019s position as a leading financial hub.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Better Regulation Could Help Position Bahrain as a Leader in the Industry<\/h2>\n<p>The bank specified the need for enhanced due diligence when onboarding new clients.

Moreover, the ruling mandates that the crypto is covered by insurance to protect against incidents of hacking or theft, reports showed.<\/p>\n<p>However, the country's plan to become the leader both in banking and crypto in the Middle East and North Africa faces tough competition.<\/p>\n<p>Bahrain was once the undisputed banking center of the Gulf but is now fighting with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar to regain its place by breaking through using the blockchain sector. Earlier in January, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates <a href=\"http:\/\/wam.ae\/en\/details\/1395302733616\">launched<\/a> a joint pilot cryptocurrency initiative to enable easier cross-border transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Ola Doudin, chief executive officer of <a href=\"https:\/\/bitoasis.net\/en\/\">BitOasis<\/a>, a leading crypto-currency exchange platform in the Middle East, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-02-25\/crypto-assets-get-arab-world-s-first-regulatory-nod-from-bahrain\">told<\/a> Bloomberg that Bahrain\u2019s move is a \u201cgreat step in the right direction for the crypto-asset ecosystem in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BitOasis is one of the companies enrolled in Bahrain's incubator-style sandbox licensing program.
