As per the China Ministry of Commerce, Kazakhstan intends to increase its investment in digital currency mining by twice the current level by the end of 2020, while working on the development of central bank digital currency.
As per the report, Kazakhstan’s digital currency mining venture lured 82.60 million Tenge, which is roughly $20 million. The extent of this investment will rise to 80 million Tenge this year. The advancement of blockchain technology provides digital currency a unique real world value, as per Kazakhstan.
In May, Mu Xin, advisor to Kazakh President, suggested the adoption of blockchain technology and digital Tenge in order to fight corruption and guarantee transparency in the apportioning of funds by state. Last month, Kazakhstan approved a development strategy for digital and blockchain technology.
Currently, the Central Bank of Kazakhstan is proving the viability of unveiling the CBDC Tenge. Zarenov, consultant to the president of the Central Bank of Kazakhstan, stressed:
“The main task of the central bank is to maintain inflation targets and financial market stability, and the digital currency solution is the second priority. The key is to ensure that the design of a digital currency system is consistent with the objectives of monetary policy.”
Kariyev, development overseer of Astana International Financial Center (AIFC), has stated that AIFC intends to offer assistance for trial and establish a legitimate basis for Kazakhstan to roll out its digital currency. The AIFC’s covenant includes crypto categorizations, digital wallet, smart contract and other standard crypto market lingo.
Kazakhstan earlier created a way to store cryptocurrency and distribute it to normalize the procedures via a proficient platform.
