09/30 02:56

Kazakhstan is ready to legalize a mechanism for converting cryptocurrencies to cash if there is demand, said President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, per local news agency Informburo on Sept. 28. Speaking at the international forum Digital Bridge 2022, Tokayev emphasized that Kazakhstan aims to become an international leader in the field of digital technology, cryptocurrency ecosystem and regulated mining. He noted that the government of Kazakhstan has drafted amendments in national law to pilot a mechanism for converting crypto at the Astana International Financial Centre. “We are ready to go further. If this financial instrument shows its further relevance and security, it will certainly receive full legal recognition,” Tokayev stated. According to local reports, the Eurasian Bank announced that it completed the bank’s first regulated crypto purchase for fiat. The precedent has marked a major milestone in Kazakhstan’s crypto adoption, allowing the Kazakh people to legally buy crypto for the national currency tenge.
