CAREY: DIGITAL LEADER’S PRESENCE HAS POWER TO TURN ECONOMY AROUND AND PUT BAHAMAS BACK ON TOP OF WORLD STAGE
NASSAU, Bahamas — Businessman and real estate pioneer Mario Carey has lauded the arrival of cryptocurrency trading leader FTX in The Bahamas, declaring it could “catapult the country to the top of the world stage” and turn the local economy around in a duet of welcome dividends, EYEWITNESS NEWS online reported on January 11.
“When FTX, a leader in the crypto space [and] a company currently valued at more than $22 billion, chose to set up its first international headquarters in The Bahamas, it sent a message to the world,” said Carey.
“Not only did it demonstrate ultimate confidence in The Bahamas, its presence will open doors for global and local business, enhance lending opportunities through fund-raising and force banks and others in the financial services space to compete for their own survival or success.”
Carey compared the arrival of FTX, headquartered in Albany, to that of Sol Kerzner, the late founder of Atlantis, who took a tired property and turned it into a world-renowned resort that redefined what The Bahamas had to offer in the hospitality industry.
“FTX is the Sol Kerzner of the fintech world and its presence in The Bahamas should signal the formation of a financial union, providing a foundation of strength for persons and businesses across all fintech platforms to present a Bahamas unified force,” said Carey.
“That force will include marketing, training, certification, advocacy and a centralized resource as well as powerhouse. It will be where intellects in this new space will contribute ideas of all kinds and sew the moral fabric of the future.”
Carey called the presence of FTX “the holy grail of financial services that we have been waiting for.”
“The presence of FTX in The Bahamas says to the world this country is ready for the new world of finance,” he said.
