Tahhan told UNLOCK, " We are proud to be part of the launch of Easy Coins, that is built on Nexus, this highlights our robust and secure SaaS solution in managing tokens. We are also keen on showcasing to Oman Central Bank how Nexus can easily issue, manage and govern token issuances like CBDCs for direct or indirect distribution mode.

Easy Coins' AML Policy is based on the guidance of The Central Bank of Oman’s (CBO) Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Law (AML/CTF) and other best practices. This law was drawn up by the CBO on the recommendation of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on money laundering, and provides instructions for compliance with such laws.

Oman Central Bank has in the past warned against investing and trading in cryptocurrencies on several occasions. Oman has however embraced blockchain with Central Bank of Oman launching the FinTech regulatory sandbox. Oman Port for example has been one of the first to trial Blockchain enabled TradeLens platform from IBM. In addition Oman was one of the first to launch a blockchain crowdfunding Islamic Waqf platform.
