Kyrgyzstan has opened a new chapter in digital finance. The country’s national stablecoin was officially launched on the BNB Chain, while its central bank-backed digital currency (CBDC) has also been made ready for deployment. This new digital currency will be actively used in government payments and public sector transactions. The development was confirmed via a post by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder and CEO of Binance, on the X social platform.
A Digital Finance Initiative from Kyrgyzstan
According to the joint announcement by Kyrgyzstan and CZ:
- The national stablecoin was launched on the BNB Chain.
- The CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) is now ready for use.
- The CBDC will be employed in government payments and public transactions.
- A national crypto-asset reserve has been established, composed of various assets including BNB.
This step places Kyrgyzstan among the first countries in Central Asia to adopt a state-supported blockchain-based financial system.
CZ’s Announcement: “Kyrgyzstan Is Ready for the Digital Future”
On his X account, CZ applauded Kyrgyzstan’s move and highlighted the country’s commitment to blockchain innovation. He also noted that over 1,000 people participated in a Binance meetup in Bishkek, underscoring growing community support in the region.

National Stablecoin Launched on BNB Chain
The launch of Kyrgyzstan’s national stablecoin on the BNB Chain underscores the country’s close collaboration with the Binance ecosystem. Known for its low transaction costs, high speed, and strong security, BNB Chain provides an ideal infrastructure for state-level financial systems.
Experts view this development as a major milestone demonstrating BNB Chain’s viability in global public finance systems.
The Central Bank of Kyrgyzstan confirmed that its CBDC will be used for government payments, salary distribution, tax transactions, and public services. Through this, the country aims to ensure greater transparency, faster processing, and lower costs in state operations. Building the CBDC framework on the BNB Chain shows that Kyrgyzstan has placed blockchain technology at the heart of its national digital economy strategy.
Education and Crypto Awareness: Strategic Support from Binance
Kyrgyzstan is also making significant progress in the education sector as part of its digital transformation journey:
- The top 10 universities in the country have partnered with Binance Academy to launch blockchain and Web3 education programs.
- The Binance app has been fully localized in Kyrgyz language.
- Over 1,000 participants attended the Binance meetup held in the capital, Bishkek.
These initiatives demonstrate that Kyrgyzstan’s interest in digital financial technologies extends beyond government institutions — it is becoming a nationwide movement fostering blockchain literacy and adoption.
National Crypto Reserve: BNB as a Financial Safeguard
Kyrgyzstan has also established a national crypto reserve, which includes BNB and other digital assets. The reserve aims to stabilize the country’s digital financial ecosystem and act as a safeguard against potential financial crises.
According to experts, this crypto reserve will serve as a foundational security layer during Kyrgyzstan’s transition toward a blockchain-based economy.
A Turning Point in Central Asia’s Digital Finance History
By simultaneously launching both its national stablecoin and CBDC, Kyrgyzstan has marked a historic milestone in Central Asia’s digital finance evolution. Leveraging the BNB Chain’s reliable, fast, and transparent infrastructure, the country is positioning itself among the global pioneers of state-backed digital finance systems leading the way into the blockchain-powered era.
