Why Binance, Telegram and others went to Kazakhstan as tech figures skirt regulation

Astana is drawing attention as a new base for global tech, with Binance, Telegram and Balaji Srinivasan expanding in Kazakhstan, Business Insider reported. Srinivasan opened a resident startup community and relaunched his Network School at the Astana Hub. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao visited and the firm signed three agreements with the government. Telegram opened its first local office and an AI institute. Kazakhstan has introduced new visas and pursued immigration reforms, amid mention of some figures’ regulatory troubles elsewhere.
