Kazakhstan Prepares CryptoCity, Crypto Will Be A Legal Payment Tool

Kazakhstan plans to build CryptoCity, a pilot zone where crypto can be used for daily transactions. President Tokayev announced this at Astana International Forum 2025, as an effort to adopt crypto in a regular environment.

At CryptoCity, crypto will be accepted for payments in restaurants, properties, and investments, paving the way for the blockchain industry. The government hopes that this will attract Information Technology (IT) talent and encourage local economic growth.

This initiative is in line with Kazakhstan's efforts to become a regional crypto center. Previously, they launched a central bank digital currency trial and were trying to relax regulations, and the government also wanted to strengthen the middle class through digital technology and clean energy.

In addition to CryptoCity, Kazakhstan runs a pilot project between banks and crypto exchanges to regulate digital asset trading transparently. This aims to attract investment and make Kazakhstan the main destination for crypto business in Central Asia.

With these steps, Kazakhstan shows its commitment to encourage financial innovation and strengthen its position as a technology and research center in the Eurasia region.

Maple Finance Collaborates with Cantor Fitzgerald for Bitcoin Credit Service**

Maple Finance successfully obtained Bitcoin (BTC) based financing from Cantor Fitzgerald, part of a program worth US$2 billion that supports FalconX. This initiative aims to give leverage to Bitcoin holding institutions and restore the confidence of the crypto loan market after major failures such as Celsius and BlockFi in 2022.

This facility allows Maple Finance to accelerate expansion as a digital asset credit provider. CEO Sidney Powell said this partnership is important to meet institutional demand for secure and regulated crypto credit access, as well as strengthening Maple's position in the institutional sector.

Cantor Fitzgerald, who is increasingly active in the crypto sector through cooperation with Tether and SoftBank, sees this move as a strategy to expand digital asset finance. Anchorage Digital acts as a custodian, ensuring the safe storage and settlement of Bitcoin transactions.

The crypto loan market began to recover, with total loans reaching US$36.5 billion by the end of 2024. Maple's involvement in the Cantor program reflects a new momentum in the institutional crypto lending sector, supported by structured financing and increasing market confidence.

# **Bitcoin Open Interest Breaks Through US$74 Billion in the Middle of Price Rally**

*Open interest* Bitcoin (BTC) in the futures market jumped to US$74 billion, one of the highest levels in recent weeks, according to Coinglass data. This surge shows that more and more traders are taking positions to anticipate the upward price movement.

This increase in *open interest* is driven by bullish sentiment that emerged after global macroeconomic data improved, especially the expectation of interest rate decline and inflation began to subside. In addition, the increasing interest of institutions strengthens the trend.

The high *open interest* does not always mean that the price will rise, but it shows more capital entering the Bitcoin futures market. This increases liquidity and enlarges the chance of price volatility, especially if there is a price spike and triggers massive liquidation.

Overall, the surge in *open interest* to US$74 billion reflects optimism and increasing institutional participation in the Bitcoin market. However, traders still need to be aware of the potential for high volatility that can arise due to *leverage* positions that accumulate in the futures market.

For information, when this news was written, the price of Bitcoin was at the level of US$106,745, rising 0.52% in the last 24 hours.

**Why Are Many New Rich People From Crypto? Is This Industry the Printer of Billionaires? **

Lately we often see and hear that many rich people are just born from the crypto industry. Not just one or two, but so many. In fact, there are also many of them who are rich but "secretly" because they do not want their wealth to be exposed to people or do not want to share "success recipes" with others about this industry that changes many people's lives. Then, scientifically why are so many new rich people born from crypto?

**#1 First Mover Advantage. **

Crypto is a very new industry so there are so many opportunities that they can take advantage of in this growing asset class. We can see many figures like CZ who bought Bitcoin when the price was still very cheap and rose thousands of times in just the last 10 years. New industries always snare new rich people who must be very large. It is also predicted that the crypto and blockchain industry will continue to grow until 2030.

**#2 Repetitive Cycle Allows People to Do Compounding. **

One of the main characters in the crypto market is the price movement that follows a cycle called Bitcoin Halving. When the cycle is over, the price of Bitcoin will drop so badly that it allows those who "sell above" to buy below again at a cheaper price and a larger amount. In addition, every cycle always gives many opportunities for Altcoins to rise thousands of times, making this market a "money machine" that continues to produce.

**#3 Wealth Creation that is More Wide Open. **

In this industry, there is no seniority, no standard theory, anyone is free to have an opinion and make anything. This freedom is what causes a lot of developers and creators to create their own tokens, create new projects, and businesses related to the "crypto" theme. That is why this industry can grow very fast because there are no limits.
