A leading provider of digital-asset infrastructure of exchanges, brokerages, payment networks and banking has announced a new partnership with a Bermuda Monetary Authority-licensed business.

AlphaPoint is partnering with Wenia, a new subsidiary of Bancolombia, to launch a new exchange offering.

According to a statement from the firm, the application, built on AlphaPoint's Exchange platform, provides “a seamless and secure way to buy, sell, convert, receive and send various digital assets, including the newly introduced Colombian Peso Wrapped, a new Colombian peso stablecoin on the Polygon network”.

“We are proud to have been selected for this important project and are excited by its public launch. Now we get to deliver on our mission of enabling access to digital assets globally with a stellar partner.”

Wenia operates under a Class F licence granted by the BMA, and David Burt, the Premier and finance minister, said: “AlphaPoint has been providing services to regulated platforms worldwide. Their partnership with Wenia showcases Bermuda’s commitment to fostering innovation in the digital-asset space while maintaining the highest regulatory standards.”

He added: “We are pleased to see AlphaPoint’s technology being leveraged to enable secure and reliable access to digital assets for users in Colombia and beyond, further cementing Bermuda’s position as a leading jurisdiction for digital-asset businesses.”
