BlockApps STRATO, the first Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform, enables blockchain solutions across all industry verticals. Built on proven Ethereum protocols, it also provides core enterprise features, such as flexible API integration capabilities, high transaction performance, and the capability to query and report on blockchain data using a traditional business tools.

![the-british-virgin-islands-secures-bbb/a-2-sovereign-credit-rating-by-s&p](https://thefintechbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/59145-the-british-virgin-islands-secures-bbb-a-2-sovereign-credit-rating-by-sp.jpg)
Agency action and stable outlook underscore territory’s stability, position as global financial services hub
ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The British Virgin Islands’ investment in its institutional framework and economic development has designated the territory’s sovereign credit rating as investment grade BBB/A-2 by S&P. The rating was accompanied by a “stable” outlook, indicating that the BVI is on sound footing as a hub for global financial services and warrants increased investor confidence. The internally self-governing territory was noted for a prudent approach to managing public finances and working to mitigate risks in its environment.
This credit rating is expected to lower borrowing costs for government projects, benefitting residents and businesses through enhancements to infrastructure and public services as well as economic growth opportunities. The S&P rating provides an opportunity for businesses operating in the BVI to have increased access to financing, as well, which could improve trade relationships and overall market stability. The territory is fully committed to ensuring the long-term stability and opportunity that this rating is and will continue to be based on.
“The British Virgin Islands has made a strong, long-term commitment to accountability, transparency and responsibility in fiscal matters, and our efforts have not gone unnoticed. We are pleased to share our sovereign credit rating by S&P — a result that has involved considerable time and effort and that will secure economic opportunity for our territory and for those who choose to do business here,” said the Honorable Dr. Natalio D. Wheatley, Premier and Minister of Finance for the BVI. “This rating signifies that our global financial services industry rests on a solid foundation; moreover, it is poised to meet the complex and diverse needs of today’s savvy investors.”
The credit agency’s review noted a demonstration of the territory’s institutional stability — including its fiscal discipline and prudence and its consistent, sustainable economic policies — as well as potential for near-term economic growth. Moreover, with the U.S. dollar as its official currency, the BVI has “a stable institutional and economic anchor” that supports stability, and its banking system is considered generally well capitalized.
“Beyond providing our international business clientele with the reassurance they seek in establishing commitments in and conducting timely and sensitive transactions through the BVI, this credit rating is a boon to our local economy,” continued Wheatley.
The BVI’s creditworthiness and stable outlook speak to resilience and stability, placing the territory on par with other globally recognized financial centers. The rating supports assurance to institutional investors, global financial institutions, development partners and others who conduct business within the territory, which is proving an attractive destination for foreign direct investment and private sector opportunities. Further, the BVI’s clear commitment to maintaining a long-term economic strategy, regulatory framework and transparency contributed to its trusted reputation among global businesses, asset managers and financial services firms.

Fayafi Investment Holding copper isotope backed securities to begin trading on Feb 14th, 2025
![fayafi-investment-holding-copper-isotope-backed-securities-to-begin-trading-on-feb-14th,-2025](https://thefintechbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/59141-fayafi-investment-holding-copper-isotope-backed-securities-to-begin-trading-on-feb-14th-2025.jpg)
Securities offer up to 15% annual yields paid in fiat or digital assets.
DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fayafi Investment Holding (Bloomberg: SPV Fayafi Investment), the first UAE firm to be registered on the SIX Swiss Exchange and listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, will see its SPV Fayafi Investment securities begin trading on Bloomberg trading desks from February 14th, 2025.
The SPV Fayafi Investment securities are backed by isotope copper, a rare commodity more expensive per gramme than gold, which has crucial applications across medicine, aerospace and renewable energy. The SPV has issued $3.6B of Euroclear security certificates at a price of USD 100 per certificate, backed by isotope copper reserves physically present in its Dubai vaults.
$1.44B of these securities will be initially released for trading on February 14th at 9am CET. They will be available to sophisticated investors via Bloomberg trading desks and the Bloomberg terminal.
The Euroclear securities offer up to 15% annual yields, paid out by Fayafi Investment Holding in USDT or Bitcoin. In a world first, investors can also swap their securities for fiat and then convert to popular digital assets including USDT, USDC or Bitcoin.
“From an analyst’s perspective, Fayafi Investment Holding SPV’s copper isotope securities are world-firsts in several ways. First, it is rare for isotope copper to be securitized and offered to investors. Then, the 15% yields on these Euroclear securities are also very attractive. Finally, the fact that investors can bank these yields in either fiat or cryptocurrencies, and in fact swap securities to digital assets, makes them a very interesting proposition. They are potentially the only SPV to offer this service for Euroclear securities,” explains Ahmed Mahdy, founder of investment consulting firm Lunar Investment Group and former Director of Azimut DIFC.
Fayafi Investment Holding SPV remains confident in the long-term enduring value of the isotope copper reserves underpinning its securities. Isotope copper’s production is limited to specialized facilities using nuclear reactors, cyclotrons, or isotope separation plants. The metal’s supply remains niche and highly valuable, with controlled distribution for high-tech applications.
Fayafi Investment Holding is an Emirati-founded Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) headquartered in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Its aim is to deliver financial innovation and sustainable growth while also empowering industries and catalysing solutions towards a better world for generations to come.
