The best part is that an Islamic bank is getting closer to the crypto-world, not bad as a start.
It can be seen as quite a coup, if you consider that Kuwait's currency is the strongest in the world (when it comes to a national fiat currency, and in direct terms of value per unit). I'm actually familiar with this bank of all in the list above as they opened several branches in my country from even the mid-2000s. Almost chiefly Islamic finance products.
There's also an Islamic digital bank based in Kuala Lumpur in the midst of its crowdfunding. I know it can seem like a niche industry now but remove the religious connotations and you've got a system of banking that is already a step removed from the interest-bearing and high risk models of concentional banking/finance... it's actually pretty logical to see blockchain and cryptocurrency as a natural upgrade for them.
Now if they would only start accepting Bitcoin.
