This alert by the Astana Financial Services Authority is to remind the public of the importance of exercising caution when selecting Digital Assets Services Providers (DASPs) for digital asset transactions and investments, especially considering the growing popularity of digital assets and blockchain technology.
When choosing a DASP for your digital asset needs, it is important to check whether the DASP is authorised by the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA). AFSA is the only regulator of digital assets services providers in Kazakhstan.
Consumers may verify the legitimacy of firms by accessing the public register https://publicreg.myafsa.com/, which allows consumers to check if the companies that they are considering to use are authorised and compliant with regulatory requirements. This simple step ensures that consumers can make informed decisions and trust that they are engaging with reputable and trustworthy businesses. AFSA-authorised providers are held to high standards of compliance, accountability and consumer protection.
