As a seasoned researcher with a keen interest in the digital asset market and its regulatory landscape, I am thrilled to see Binance Kazakhstan’s progress towards becoming a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF). Having closely followed the evolution of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology over the past decade, it is heartening to witness such significant milestones.


Binance Kazakhstan has secured approval from the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) for a comprehensive regulatory license, marking a major milestone toward establishing a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF). This makes Binance the first entity to achieve such status in Kazakhstan.

Following a thorough and systematic evaluation which encompassed financial reviews, ISO certifications, and both internal and external appraisals, it is important to mention that Binance Kazakhstan has undergone strict scrutiny by the AFSA, the financial and non-financial services regulator within the AIFC, to ensure adherence to top regulatory standards.

Once they receive the complete licensing, Binance Kazakhstan will have the authority to oversee a virtual asset trading platform, execute primary transactions, and safeguard virtual assets. It’s anticipated that the company will reap benefits from these functions and contribute value to the local digital asset marketplace.

Binance Kazakhstan Set to Offer Virtual Asset Services Following Regulatory Approval

As an analyst, I’d rephrase it as follows: I, as Vishal Sacheendran, Head of Regional Markets at Binance, am thrilled about this pre-approval. Our focus remains on compliance, security, and operational efficiency. This permission is a significant milestone in our journey towards excellence and contributing to the growth of digital assets within the country.

It is said that Binance Kazakhstan went through all the required steps before receiving their license, such as an external review of financial records and obtaining ISO certifications for their information systems. Additionally, the company underwent both internal evaluations and regulatory checks to ensure they adhere to all legal requirements.

Obtaining the forthcoming license will empower Binance Kazakhstan to offer services such as virtual asset trading, investment, and safekeeping. This milestone demonstrates that the regulator has confidence in Binance Kazakhstan’s robust systems, controls, and cybersecurity protocols, which have undergone thorough assessment.
