Kazakhstan eyes crypto future with national reserve
Kazakhstan is moving to establish a state-backed crypto reserve as part of its wider plan to embed digital assets into the national economy.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev gave the directive this week, saying the initiative reflects the country’s need to adapt its financial system to new technological realities.
