Bermuda positions itself at the edge of the digital finance sea. According to a recent report, the island intends to migrate its entire economic infrastructure onchain, in partnership with Coinbase and Circle. By moving away from traditional, high-fee payment rails to a system powered by USDC and blockchain technology, Bermuda hopes to lower transaction costs for local merchants, broaden financial inclusion, and spur domestic growth. The language is precise, the ambition grand, and the anxieties are real enough to gnaw at a man’s sleeve while he pretends to be calm.
