Kazakhstan launches Alem Crypto Fund with first investment in BNB
Kazakhstan has launched the Alem Crypto Fund, a state-backed initiative for long-term digital asset reserves, making its debut with a purchase of BNB, the utility token used on Binance. The fund, formed by the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development and managed by Qazaqstan Venture Group, aims to make long-term investments in digital assets and establish strategic reserves. While the exact amount of BNB acquired was not disclosed, this move signals Kazakhstan's increasing engagement with the cryptocurrency sector. Since 2022, Binance has partnered with the Kazakh government to advance a regulatory framework for digital assets. Kazakhstan has also been a significant player in crypto mining and is evolving its policies around digital assets. The Alem Crypto Fund, although not a central bank reserve, represents a growing trend among nations considering the integration of cryptocurrencies into national assets.
