In an official announcement about the prosperous development and implementation of JPMorgan’s Coin System, Ali Al-Baqali, CEO of Aluminium Bahrain (ALBA), stated:

"We at ALBA are very happy to have participated in and contributed towards a successful test of this cutting-edge technology, which we’re certain will optimize our cash management activities. ALBA has been at the forefront of leveraging new innovative, secure and reliable financial solutions that bring speed, seamless efficiencies into our financial operations."

Bahrain’s recent expansion into the crypto world can also be linked with the Binance cryptocurrency exchange that was recently approved by the CBB (the Central Bank of Bahrain) to operate locally as an official digital asset resource provider.
