OpenNode, a Bitcoin and Lightning Network infrastructure provider, is testing a bitcoin payment solution for the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), per a sporočilo za javnost.

The CBB’s Regulatory Sandbox will provide the necessary proving grounds to test bitcoin payments in the region, which until now have been non-existent according to the release.

Testni poligon so sprva odprli leta 2017, da bi dodatno okrepili fintech ekosistem v državi. Leta 2021 je bil peskovnik razširjen, da bi se osredotočil na ustvarjanje bolj raznolikega digitalnega gospodarstva.

Majhna otoška država je to zmogljivost izkoristila za preizkušanje novih inovacij za preizkušanje novih fintech rešitev, kot je opozorila Dalal Buhejji, izvršna direktorica za razvoj naložb za finančne storitve pri odboru za gospodarski razvoj Bahrajna.

"Ponosni smo, da smo sodelovali s centralno banko pri vzpostavitvi močnega ekosistema finančnih storitev v Kraljevini Bahrajn," je dejal Buhejji.

During the testing phase, OpenNode intends to show the central bank that Bitcoin has the capacity to expand the Bahrain economy by strengthening businesses in the region.

“This is a watershed moment for the people of Bahrain, the Middle East and the Bitcoin economy as a whole,” said Afnan Rahman, CEO and co-founder of OpenNode.

Poleg tega je OpenNode izjavil, da je to prva objava od mnogih, ki bodo prišla iz regije. Trenutno je infrastruktura OpenNode aktivna v več kot 160 državah po vsem svetu.

“OpenNode’s leading Bitcoin infrastructure solution continues to pave the way for countries, governments and reputable financial institutions to adopt the Bitcoin standard and transact on the lightning network,” Rahman concluded.
