In a statement, the country’s government said that the exchanges that are registered with the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), a financial hub based in Kazakhstan’s capital Nur-Sultan, are eligible to open accounts with a number of local banks.

The licenses of several more such companies have been "suspended by participant."
