哈萨克斯坦总统签署了一项新法令,目标是利用天然气发电进行采矿、免除受监管的加密货币交易的所得税以及跨境稳定币支付。 哈萨克斯坦是世界上最大的比特币挖矿中心之一,该国正在扩大其加密货币行业,因为一项新法令引入了稳定币支付规则、受监管的加密货币活动的税收减免以及采矿的新能源选择。 哈萨克斯坦人工智能和数字发展部(MAIDD)周三宣布,哈萨克斯坦总统卡西姆-乔马尔特·托卡耶夫(Kassym-Jomart Tokayev)签署了一项旨在建立受监管的数字资产市场的法令。 该命令由 MAIDD、央行和阿斯塔纳国际金融中心联合制定,被视为提高加密企业、投资者和数字资产服务提供商监管透明度的工具。 此举标志着哈萨克斯坦为扩大其在加密行业中的作用并将自己打造为全球主要加密中心的最新努力。 稳定币进入哈萨克斯坦跨境贸易计划
该法令的关键方向之一是实现哈萨克斯坦支付基础设施的现代化,包括建立在跨境结算中使用数字资产和稳定币的机制的规定。 政府表示,此举可以通过将数字资产添加到哈萨克斯坦的金融工具包中来支持进出口业务,同时将交易保持在受监管的框架内。 相关:随着稳定币的分化,USDT 赢得支付,USDC 赢得 DeFi:Dune 该命令还旨在将加密活动从外国不受监管的平台转移到哈萨克斯坦获得许可的数字资产基础设施中。鼓励在境外持有数字资产的用户披露并转让给经批准的境内服务商。 对于个人而言,政府计划对通过受监管的基础设施进行的数字资产活动提供税收优惠,包括提议免除相关收入的个人所得税。 数字采矿的燃气能源计划
该行动还涉及哈萨克斯坦的能源问题,引入了一种机制,当国家不需要这些资源时,将油气田中的伴生石油气和天然气用于自主发电。 公告称,这些电力可以支持数字采矿作业,为哈萨克斯坦更广泛的加密战略添加能源组成部分。 根据剑桥另类金融中心 (CCAF) 2022 年发布的数据,哈萨克斯坦在比特币挖矿哈希率方面排名全球第三。来源:CCAF 另外,哈萨克斯坦政府推出了“70/30”能源模式,允许数据中心和数字矿工直接使用通过基础设施升级创建的高达 70% 的新增发电能力。 相关:Solana 公司支持哈萨克斯坦 60 亿美元的加密大城市雄心 该法令还概述了开发代币化金融工具和国家贸易基础设施的计划,因为这个中亚国家寻求吸引数字资产投资。

Kazakhstan targets gas-powered electricity for mining, income tax exemptions for regulated crypto transactions and cross-border stablecoin payments in a new decree signed by the president.
Kazakhstan, one of the world’s largest Bitcoin mining hubs, is moving to expand its crypto sector as a new decree introduces rules for stablecoin payments, tax breaks for regulated crypto activity and new energy options for mining.
Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has signed a decree aimed at building a regulated digital asset market, the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development (MAIDD) announced on Wednesday.
Developed jointly by MAIDD, the central bank and the Astana International Financial Centre, the order is viewed as a tool to increase regulatory clarity for crypto businesses, investors and digital asset service providers.
The move signals Kazakhstan’s latest effort to expand its role in the crypto industry and establish itself as a major global crypto hub.
Stablecoins enter Kazakhstan’s cross-border trade plans
In one of its key directions, the decree targets modernization of Kazakhstan’s payments infrastructure, including provisions on creating mechanisms for using digital assets and stablecoins in cross-border settlements.
The government said the move could support export and import operations by adding digital assets to Kazakhstan’s financial toolkit while keeping transactions within a regulated framework.

The order also aims to move crypto activity from foreign unregulated platforms into Kazakhstan’s licensed digital asset infrastructure. Users holding digital assets abroad will be encouraged to disclose them and transfer them to approved domestic service providers.
For individuals, the government plans tax incentives for digital asset activity conducted through regulated infrastructure, including a proposed exemption from personal income tax on related income.
Gas-powered energy plans for digital mining
The action also addresses Kazakhstan’s energy resources, introducing a mechanism for associated petroleum gas and natural gas from oil and gas fields to be used for autonomous electricity generation when those resources are not needed for state purposes.
That electricity could support digital mining operations, adding an energy component to Kazakhstan’s broader crypto strategy, the announcement said.

Separately, Kazakhstan’s government has introduced a “70/30” energy model that allows data centers and digital miners to directly access up to 70% of new power generation capacity created through infrastructure upgrades.

The decree also outlines plans to develop tokenized financial instruments and national trading infrastructure, as the Central Asian country seeks to attract digital asset investment.
“Our goal is to make Kazakhstan a point of attraction for global capital and expertise while ensuring maximum transparency and protection for every participant in this market,” MAIDD Minister Zhaslan Madiyev said.
