Alatau City Bank becomes the first Kazakh commercial bank on KASE's digital financial assets platform, eyeing a tenge stablecoin and deposit tokenization

Alatau City Bank said on 30 October 2026 that it has become Kazakhstan's first second-tier (commercial) bank to join the Digital Financial Assets (DFA) platform of the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE), and that at this stage it will focus exclusively on the B2B segment and the tokenization of real assets.

DBS survey: 88% of large businesses are deploying or piloting tokenised money; stablecoins most adopted, ahead of tokenised deposits

Corporate finance leaders in the survey name banks as their preferred single point of integration into tokenised money and ask for pilot and integration support, while citing regulatory and compliance uncertainty, data security and operational risks and integration complexity as barriers, which frames tokenised-money access as a transaction-banking service question as much as a technology one.
