Kazakhstan to Launch $500M–$1B Crypto Reserve Fund by 2026: Report
Kazakhstan plans to establish a national cryptocurrency reserve fund valued between $500 million and $1 billion by early 2026, according to a Bloomberg report.
The initiative marks one of Central Asia’s boldest steps toward integrating digital assets into a state-managed investment portfolio—though authorities say the fund will take a cautious approach, avoiding direct exposure to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
