Kazakhstan's Anti-Money Laundering body has successfully halted illicit cryptocurrency transactions amounting to a total of $75.4 million. This includes the confirmation of 18 criminal cases related to illegal cryptocurrency trading and mining activities. In the related judgments made in 2024, courts issued six rulings and seized assets worth a total of $2.51 million. To strengthen regulation, Kazakhstan has implemented strict legal penalties for unlicensed cryptocurrency exchanges and unlicensed mining equipment. This measure aims to protect the country's financial system's security and stability, preventing funds from flowing into illegal activities.
