Kraken secures preliminary regulatory approval in Kazakhstan

  • —AFSA granted Kraken in-principle approval, not a full license
  • —Kraken signed a cooperation memorandum with Kazakhstan's digital ministry
  • —Only Binance Kazakhstan and Bybit Kazakhstan hold local licenses
  • —Bitget, MEXC and HTX announced exits from Russia within a week
Why it matters: Kraken could join Kazakhstan's short list of licensed exchanges while rivals pull out of Russia.
