Ripple has announced a strategic partnership with Bahrain FinTech Bay to enhance its blockchain and digital asset initiatives in Bahrain. This collaboration will focus on pilot projects, educational programs, and ecosystem development. Ripple plans to introduce its RLUSD stablecoin and digital asset custody services to local financial institutions as part of this expansion. This move follows Ripple's recent licensing in Dubai and is aimed at accelerating blockchain adoption across the Middle East.
