Zhaslan Madiyev, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, said:
“The creation of the Alem is is a step toward advancing technical finance in the nation. Our goal is to make it a reliable instrument for major investors and a key foundation for state reserves.”
The fund’s strategic partner is Binance Kazakhstan, a locally licensed company within the global BNB ecosystem. This exchange is one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency platforms and provides trading, investment, and custody services worldwide.
Through this partnership, Alem made its first investment in BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain. Binance Coin (BNB) is widely used for transaction processing, paying fees, and participating in network governance.
Nurkhat Kushimov, General Manager of Binance Kazakhstan, said:
“We are proud to partner with Alem. The decision to make BNB the first digital asset demonstrates confidence in the Binance ecosystem and a new step in the cryptocurrency acceptance in the country.
It is a top cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of more than 138 billion by 2025. It is regarded as one of the most stable and powerful assets throughout the world. Investing in this coin, the nation shows its intentions to create a clear and safe crypto market and combine the governmental initiatives with global technologies.
The Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) has licensed Binance Kazakhstan to be a digital asset trading facility. It offers investment management, custody services, and regulated crypto trading in the nation. This guarantees that Alem Fund will be operating within a safe and lawful environment, safeguarding the government and investors.
The crypto reserve in Kazakhstan is a great move. The fund will enable the large investors, help create the national reserves, and enhance the position of the country in the world asset market.
Through government assistance and the best cryptocurrency infrastructure in the world by the BNB exchange, the country will establish a stable, clear, and innovative platform to invest in assets on a long-term basis. Recently, Kazakhstan launched Central Asia's first Bitcoin ETF. This shows cryptocurrency development in the country.
