Kyrgyzstan Embraces Crypto: CZ Proposes BTC and BNB for National Reserve

In a groundbreaking move, Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao has proposed that Kyrgyzstan adopt Bitcoin (BTC) and Binance Coin (BNB) as foundational assets for a national cryptocurrency reserve. This announcement follows CZ’s recent appointment to Kyrgyzstan’s National Crypto Committee, marking a strategic push toward integrating blockchain into the country’s financial infrastructure.

The proposal highlights Bitcoin’s role as a decentralized store of value and BNB’s utility within the Binance ecosystem. CZ’s initiative aims to help Kyrgyzstan diversify its reserves and embrace financial innovation, potentially following in the footsteps of crypto-forward nations like El Salvador.

As part of this broader collaboration, Binance has signed a memorandum of understanding with Kyrgyzstan’s National Investment Agency to launch Binance Pay and expand blockchain education via Binance Academy. These steps reinforce Kyrgyzstan's growing commitment to digital finance and crypto adoption.

The move positions Kyrgyzstan as a rising player in the global crypto landscape, with CZ’s guidance shaping the future of its economic strategy.
