Exchange (KASE) and the Alatau City Authority have signed a
memorandum of cooperation on digital financial assets within the
framework of AI & Digital Bridge 2026 in Astana.
According to KASE, the partnership provides for exploring the
concept of a trading platform for tokenized assets based on KASE

instruments backed by tenge and foreign currencies for digital
financial asset transactions.
The parties also plan to introduce innovations in accordance
with Kazakhstan’s regulatory standards and legislation.

by making urban and commercial assets more accessible to investment
through reliable exchange infrastructure.
