Astana International Exchange (“AIX” or “the Exchange”) is pleased to announce that 17 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered in Kazakhstan are now accessible through the Tabadul Digital Exchange Hub, a cross-border market access platform connecting participating exchanges and licensed brokers. The newly added ETFs include Units of Fonte Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund OEIC Plc., Units of Fonte Solana Exchange Traded Fund OEIC Plc., Units of ITS Shariah and World ETFs and global Single Stock ETFs offering exposure to individual global blue-chip equities.
