The permit was issued by the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) of the Astana International Financial Center (AIFC). It became the first regulatory body in Kazakhstan and the CIS to grant in-principle approval to Binance.
What else is known about the approval? According to the statement, Binance is expected to complete the full application process to obtain a license. It is expected to be completed soon, no exact dates are specified.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao noted that the exchange aims to focus on regulatory compliance around the world to provide services in a safe environment. He called Kazakhstan “a pioneer in Central Asia crypto adoption and regulation.”
