Binance Receives Preliminary Regulatory Approval for Operations in Kazakhstan

We are pleased to announce that Binance has received in-principle approval from Kazakhstan’s Astana Financial Services Authority ( AFSA ) to operate a digital asset trading facility and provide custody services at the Astana International Financial Center (AIFC).

After obtaining the permission in principle, Binance still needs to complete the entire application process before it can carry out the above operations and services in AIFC as a digital asset trading platform operator and custody service provider.

AFSA is an independent regulator of the Astana International Financial Centre, which oversees digital asset-related activities in Kazakhstan.

AFSA’s strong regulatory framework in the fintech sector has helped AIFC establish itself as a leading platform for the development of digital asset services in the region.
