Solana Backs Kazakhstan's $6B Crypto City Push with Blockchain Infrastructure

The Solana Company has partnered with Kazakhstan's Alatau City to support the development of blockchain infrastructure and a planned crypto pilot zone.

The agreement, announced in June during an Alatau City Roadshow in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, is part of the country's $6 billion crypto city push. The Solana Company will work with Alatau City on digital asset treasury planning, institutional blockchain adoption, platform development, and other areas.

This partnership adds to Kazakhstan's growing links with the Solana ecosystem. Last year, the country launched Central Asia's first Solana Economic Zone in Astana with the Solana Foundation. The Kazakhstan Stock Exchange also recently listed its first Solana ETF, providing investors with regulated exposure to SOL.
