Fasset, a leading UAE-based digital asset platform, has officially launched in the Kingdom of Bahrain, introducing tokenized US stocks as part of its offerings. Bahrain residents can now invest in leading US companies, gold, and cryptocurrencies through a secure, all-in-one financial superapp.
Interest-Free Investing: Lowering Barriers to World-Leading Equities
The launch marks a significant step in Fasset’s mission to make global investment opportunities accessible to high-growth frontier markets. Through Fasset’s high-latency, globally compliant real-world asset rails, US stocks are tokenized and available for fractional investment, allowing users to trade around the clock with transparent asset settlement. This model simplifies access to some of the world’s most sought-after equities, including Apple, Tesla, and Amazon, while removing traditional barriers such as high minimum capital requirements.
“Bahrain’s progressive regulatory framework and leading position as a digital finance hub make it a natural home for Fasset,” said Mohamed Sabra, General Manager of Fasset Bahrain. “With tokenized US stocks, we are giving investors the ability for fractional ownership, to diversify their portfolios with assets that were previously out of reach, all in one unified financial superapp platform.”
Bahrain users will benefit from regulated, real-time, fractional access to tokenized US stocks, alongside a range of more than 85+ assets, including tokenized gold, cryptocurrencies, and bundled investment strategies. The interest-free platform offers a streamlined, mobile-first experience designed for transparency and ease of use. Local onboarding is supported through seamless bank transfers, making it easier for users to fund their accounts and start building diversified portfolios.
Purpose-built to democratize financial access across key regions, Fasset integrates more than 50+ local banking corridors to connect over 2.5 billion people to seamless, compliant cross-border financial services. Abstracting away the complexities of blockchain-based services such as app switching, wallets, and gas fees while reaping cost and time efficiency benefits of the technology, Fasset users in Bahrain will now benefit from instant scale achieved through a globally regulated network of financial corridors.
Fasset has recently crossed more than $1 billion in transaction volume, demonstrating the platform’s seismic growth as backed by strong trust and consistent demand across its key markets.
Stocks, Gold, and Crypto: A Seamless Gateway to Diversified Assets
The launch in Bahrain follows a phased rollout strategy. The rollout began with a beta launch from 22 July to 12 August, providing early adopters with access to the platform for initial onboarding and product testing. Fasset is now entering a focused education and awareness phase to engage users and highlight the benefits of tokenized stocks, gold, and crypto. The full-scale market launch is scheduled later in September this year, with tokenized US stocks positioned as the lead feature to drive mainstream adoption and showcase Fasset’s vision for modern and inclusive investing.
“With this launch, Fasset is not only enabling access to tokenized US equities but also showcasing the future of investing, one that is more inclusive, transparent, and efficient. By combining tokenized assets with a mobile-first experience, we are building an investment platform that is both inclusive and forward-thinking – one designed to empower the next generation of investors in Bahrain and beyond,” added Sabra.
