Bermuda is set to become the world's first fully on-chain economy by integrating its financial services with the Stellar network. The Stellar Development Foundation and the Government of Bermuda announced the initiative, which will enable Bermudian residents to conduct transactions, pay government fees, and manage digital assets through Stellar's blockchain infrastructure. This move follows Bermuda's ambition, declared at the World Economic Forum in January 2026, to transition its economy onto blockchain technology.
The partnership will allow local merchants to reduce transaction costs significantly, addressing the high fees associated with traditional payment systems. The initiative will also explore stablecoin-based payments and social service disbursements. Bermuda's existing regulatory framework, established with the Digital Asset Business Act in 2018, supports this transition, providing a robust legal foundation for digital asset integration. This development builds on Stellar's previous success with the Republic of the Marshall Islands, marking a significant step in blockchain's application in sovereign financial systems.
