🔥 Kyrgyzstan Launches National Stablecoin in Partnership with Binance
📰 Kyrgyzstan officially unveiled its own national stablecoin and central bank digital currency (CBDC), developed in collaboration with the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, according to President Sadyr Japarov. This move strengthens Kyrgyzstan’s position as a leader in digital currencies in Central Asia.
🪙 The new digital currency has been named A5A7. It is backed by the Russian ruble and operates on the BNB Chain blockchain, developed by Binance. In addition, the digital version of the Kyrgyz som is already being used for government payments. A national cryptocurrency reserve system, including the BNB token, has also been established.
📢 Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), appointed as an advisor to the Kyrgyz president on digital assets in May 2025, confirmed the launch of the national stablecoin and noted that the digital som is already in use for government transactions. Notably, U.S. President Donald Trump recently pardoned Zhao in a case related to money laundering violations.
💡 With the launch of A5A7, Kyrgyzstan strengthens its position as a digital currency hub in Central Asia. The partnership with Binance opens new opportunities for blockchain technology and digital asset development in the region. However, international reaction and political developments in the country may affect the future growth of this initiative.
