#Solana Economic Zone Launches in Kazakhstan as Central Asia's First Blockchain Hub

Kazakhstan has officially launched the Solana Economic Zone Kazakhstan (SEZ KZ), marking Central Asia's first blockchain-powered economic zone.

The initiative represents a partnership between the Solana Foundation and Kazakhstan's Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry.

SEZ KZ focuses on three core areas: asset tokenization, blockchain education, and startup acceleration programs.

Solana-based projects will partner with regional exchanges and banks to test programmable financial instruments.

The zone offers startup incentives including co-working space, regulatory access, and technical infrastructure support.

This launch reflects Solana's strategic pivot from retail adoption toward institutional #infrastructure development.

The Kazakhstan partnership could become a model for similar regulatory zones across Eurasia and beyond.
