Kazakhstan increases investment in Solana ecosystem to build a national-level blockchain hub

At the Solana Breakpoint conference, a major announcement was made: Kazakhstan officially designated Solana as a strategic cornerstone for the country’s blockchain development. According to reports from BlockBeats, Farhaj Mayan, Mayor of the Solana Economic Community FORMA, revealed that this Central Asian country has formulated an ambitious blueprint for crypto and blockchain development.

From Special Economic Zones to CryptoCity: A Comprehensive Strategy

In Kazakhstan’s plan, Solana is not only a technological choice but also the executor of the entire national strategy. Specifically, Kazakhstan has decided to establish a Solana Economic Zone to provide preferential policies and support for ecosystem participants. At the same time, the country has launched a stablecoin named after the Tenge, further deepening its integration with the Solana ecosystem.

More notably, Kazakhstan plans to promote dual listings and IPOs on both AIX and Solana platforms, which will attract more high-quality projects into the ecosystem. In the long term, the country also aims to build a blockchain-centered CryptoCity to showcase its ambitions in the crypto space.

Talent and Asset Reserves: A Dual Approach

In terms of talent cultivation, Kazakhstan has set a goal to nurture 1,000 Solana developers to build a local developer ecosystem. Meanwhile, the country will establish a national-level crypto asset reserve to lay a foundation for long-term participation in the blockchain economy.

These initiatives demonstrate that Kazakhstan is taking a pragmatic approach, positioning Solana as a key part of its national development strategy, and aiming to create a bridge connecting traditional economy and the crypto world.
