US EditionKazakhstan Central Bank To Invest $350M In Crypto Starting April
Kazakhstan's central bank will invest $350 million, about 0.5% of its $69.4 billion reserves, in crypto infrastructure companies and index funds starting April.
- On Friday, Kazakhstan's central bank announced plans to invest up to $350 million from its reserves in crypto-linked assets starting in April and continuing into May.
- Deputy central bank chair Aliya Moldabekova said the move aims for regulated crypto exposure while avoiding token volatility, aligning with efforts including a national crypto reserve proposal.
- The portfolio will target shares of high-tech companies related to digital assets and crypto-infrastructure firms, focusing on miners, custody providers, exchange operators, and blockchain developers.
- Although modest, the allocation represents roughly 0.5% of total reserves and officials say it could support crypto infrastructure firms and broaden digital-asset exposure.
- Regional context includes Fonte Capital, Astana-based asset manager, launching Central Asia's first spot bitcoin ETF as Kazakhstan expands its role as a bitcoin-mining hub in recent years.
