Binance secures a license in Kazakhstan. Is that a new era for crypto in KZ?
One of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance, obtained a full regulatory license in Kazakhstan. The company is not only expanding its operations in various regions but also making efforts to comply with legislative and regulatory requirements in each jurisdiction where it conducts business. In the current climate of stringent cryptocurrency regulation, which many countries are striving for, there is no other choice, to be honest. At the same time, if we set aside the complexities of verification and bureaucracy, this is indeed a big advantage for regular users. Saving funds on an unregulated exchange with unknown owners is a risky endeavor. A major international exchange, especially when approved by the local government, means a lot to Kazakhstanis.
Obtaining a license in Kazakhstan was not a simple process for Binance and involved several key stages. Submitting an application to Financial Regulatory Agency of Kazakhstan (AFSA), which oversees the regulation of financial services in the country, was the main step. AFSA conducted a detailed review and assessment of Binance's global operations. For example, it analyzed internal processes, security systems, and compliance with regulatory requirements for conducting business. Company actively cooperated with regulators, providing all necessary information and documents, and making changes to its processes to meet AFSA's requirements. Finally, after successfully passing all reviews and assessments, AFSA granted Binance a full regulatory license.
