The head of Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, Changpeng Zhao made a visit to the Astana International Financial Center (AIFC), during which he got acquainted with its activities, as well as the history of the creation of the AIFC jurisdiction based on the principles and norms of common law.
Binance is showing great interest in the Kazakh market as a crypto hub for the entire region.
In October 2021, Binance registered as an AIFC Participant and is currently undergoing the authorization procedure with the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) to obtain a license to trade in digital assets or a crypto exchange.

“One of our main goals is to ensure the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies around the world, thereby having a positive impact on society as a whole. We believe that by working closely with local authorities, Binance can make a great contribution to the development of the crypto community and blockchain ecosystem in Kazakhstan” – said Changpeng Zhao.
