Kazakhstan's President has signed a decree to advance the country's digital asset industry, effective July 8, 2026. The decree outlines four key initiatives: modernizing payment infrastructure to support digital assets and stablecoins for cross-border settlements, integrating crypto asset trading into a regulated framework, offering tax incentives by exempting income from digital asset transactions from personal income tax, and utilizing associated gas from oil fields for digital mining to enhance regional investment and energy efficiency. Additionally, the decree sets a course for developing tokenized financial instruments and national trading infrastructure.
