Kazakhstan is moving to establish a national cryptocurrency analysis centre to monitor fiat currency and cryptocurrency transactions in an integrated way. The measure aims to strengthen financial supervision and respond to illegal transactions such as fraud as digital-asset trading rapidly expands.

CoinPost reported on Sept. 16, local time, that National Bank of Kazakhstan Governor Timur Suleimenov (티무르 술레이메노프) unveiled the plan at a government meeting a day earlier.

The centre will operate on a supervisory technology, or SupTech, platform under development by the National Bank. It is designed to link and analyse fiat and cryptocurrency transactions, and to analyse customer information, wallets and individual remittance records. It will also include functions to manage operator registration information, conduct blockchain analysis and automate supervision tasks.

It will also be integrated with an anti-fraud centre launched in 2024. Banks, payment institutions, law enforcement agencies and telecom operators participate in the centre and share information in real time on suspicious fraud transactions. Verification tools from the new analysis centre are also expected to be usable by banks, investigative agencies and licensed digital-asset operators.

The measure comes as Kazakhstan's digital-asset market expands. Digital-asset trading by Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC)-registered operators totalled $10.6 billion in 2025, and registered users increased to about 215,000.

Kazakhstan introduced a system in 2022 linking cryptocurrency exchanges and banks, and enacted a digital assets law the following year. Existing regulations were limited to the AIFC and did not cover the entire domestic market. The National Bank introduced a regulatory sandbox in 2025, and 34 projects are currently participating across 14 areas including stablecoins, tokenisation, cryptocurrency exchanges and custody services. From May, it began implementing nationwide digital-asset regulation and an operator licensing system.

In the first two months after the new system took effect, transaction volume at 3 licensed cryptocurrency operators totalled about 2 billion tenge, or about 616,000,000 won. Kazakhstan is moving to bring digital assets into the formal system by building supervisory infrastructure alongside market expansion.
