Kazakhstan considers launching a national crypto bank

Tengrinews.kz – A member of Kazakhstan’s Mazhilis has proposed the creation of a national crypto bank to bring digital asset transactions out of the shadows and under state regulation. MP Azat Peruashev believes the National Bank and second-tier banks with experience in digital finance could play a central role in the project. In an official inquiry addressed to Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, Peruashev referred to President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s recent call at the National Kurultai for urgent measures to liberalize the digital asset sector.
