Kazakhstan signed two memoranda following a September 4 meeting between Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and Zhaslan Madiyev, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development. The agreements cover plans for a domestic stablecoin (token designed to maintain stable value), digital-payment frameworks and related judicial processes. They also include a Binance Pay rollout through Alatau City Bank, building on an instant crypto-payments pilot conducted earlier in 2026. The meeting addressed CryptoCity in Alatau and the Data Center Valley initiative, while Kazakhstan’s government continues supporting digital-asset investment through the Alem Crypto Fund. Madiyev previously managed Binance Kazakhstan before entering government. No immediate trading-volume changes were reported after the announcements. The measures form part of Kazakhstan’s effort to expand from Bitcoin mining into a broader, government-backed digital-asset economy.
