Toncoin has been legalized in Kazakhstan for trading on AFSA-licensed platforms
The AIFC Committee for the Regulation of Financial Services (Astana Financial Services Authority, AFSA) said that the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, personally came to officially approve the launch of trading in TON tokens in Kazakhstan.
“AFSA made its decision following a comprehensive review, determining that Toncoin complies with AFSA regulatory standards. Investors can now trade Toncoin on AFSA-licensed platforms, benefiting from the robust regulatory framework and investor protection measures established by the AIFC,” the financial center said in a statement.
The financial regulator expects that the inclusion of Toncoin in the AIFC legal sandbox will attract a new wave of institutional and retail investors to Kazakhstan seeking safe and transparent options for trading digital assets.
The Toncoin rate over the week increased by 6.1%, to $7.59 with a capitalization of $18 billion. On June 15, TON updated its maximum, at which time the price exceeded $8.17.
