Last update: 12 hours ago

Water Crisis Politics (BVI): Road Town’s Hon.

Grid & Infrastructure (USVI): WAPA has scheduled back-to-back overnight blackouts for St. Thomas–St. John (and multi-day feeder issues on St. Croix), raising fresh concerns for residents, tourism, and business continuity. Energy Transition (BVI): BVI Ports Authority and the BVI Electricity Corporation are installing a major solar photovoltaic system at the Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park as cruise lines push for greener operations. Public Finance Pressure (USVI): USVI Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. is moving to form a financial solutions task force aimed at reducing WAPA debt and addressing uncompensated health care costs, with bond-financing options on the table. Business & Trade (BVI/Regional): EY leadership changes expand across the BVI and neighboring markets, while RYKI (BVI) launched same-day settlement rails for online gaming using stablecoin/crypto payments. Regional Recognition (BVI): Caribbean POSH’s 10th anniversary in the Virgin Islands honored 15 women across seven territories, including BVI’s Shanda Webster-Glasgow (Culinary ICON) and other regional winners. Crime & Courts (USVI): A St. Croix entrepreneur, Eva’Nzingha Moorhead, faces charges after an alleged domestic disturbance incident involving a police officer. Tech & Connectivity (Global): ExpressVPN expanded to 214 server locations across 113 countries, touting more local connection choices. Finance/Compliance (Global): JPMorgan’s tokenized money market fund grew to $693 million as stablecoin issuers park reserves on-chain under the GENIUS Act.
