What’s new? The Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) has given approval to cryptocurrency platform Binance to obtain a full regulatory license. According to a post on the platform, this approval is more likely to lead the company’s Kazakhstan office to achieve the status of the first fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF) in the country.

To get approval from the regulator, Binance underwent several audits and obtained ISO certifications for its IT systems. Moreover, AFSA conducted a detailed analysis of the company’s operations to confirm that Binance meets all the necessary requirements and has top-notch systems and processes in place. The statement reads as follows:
“Once the full license is in place, Binance Kazakhstan will be authorized to operate a virtual assets trading facility, engage in principal investment dealings, and offer custody services for virtual assets. This full licensing mode will allow Binance Kazakhstan to enhance its offerings and better serve the local digital asset ecosystem.”
Vishal Sacheendran, Binance’s Head of Regional Markets, said that this decision by the regulator reaffirms Binance’s commitment to security compliance and high standards of operation.
