Bermuda’s Industry Body for Stablecoins

A non-profit association supporting the growth of stablecoins in Bermuda and around the world.

About the BSA

The Bermuda Stablecoin Association (BSA) is a non-profit, industry-led association. It works with government and the Bermuda Monetary Authority to respond to regulatory consultations, develop technical standards and test how stablecoins can be used in Bermuda’s economy, including in reinsurance. It also explains stablecoins to businesses and the public, and builds ties with industry bodies outside Bermuda.

“What distinguishes Bermuda is the collaboration between government, regulator and industry.”

Peter Hughes, Chairman of the BSA and Founder and CEO of Apex Group

Founding Members

Founding members come from banking, insurance, law, payments and digital asset infrastructure.
