The AIX Stock Exchange, operating under the jurisdiction of the Astana International Financial Center, has signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Solana Foundation, the Jupiter aggregator, and the Interbix platform. The goal of the partnership is to implement a dual listing that will combine classic IPOs on AIX with tokenized assets on the Solana blockchain.
The parties presented their joint initiative at the Solana Economic Zone conference. The new approach will allow companies to place their securities simultaneously in the traditional format and in the form of digital tokens, providing greater coverage and liquidity. The technological side of the project is being implemented by the Interbix platform, which will act as a link between the stock market and the blockchain.
AIX CEO Asel Mukazhanova emphasized that the partnership will open up new sources of financing for companies and a wider range of investment instruments for investors. According to her, the integration of blockchain solutions into regulated capital markets can create a balanced ecosystem that combines innovation and reliability.
Jupiter and Interbix also expressed confidence that the memorandum will become the basis for the emergence of new models for companies to enter the market using digital infrastructure. The use of the Solana blockchain will not only increase the transparency of operations, but also simplify the process of issuing tokenized assets in accordance with current regulations.
As part of the initiative, the participants plan to develop legal and technical standards that will ensure compatibility and compliance with regulatory requirements in both systems. Representatives of the Solana Foundation said that the hybrid model will open up access to a more flexible and scalable format for attracting investment.
The cooperation was a continuation of Kazakhstan's efforts to create a favorable environment for digital innovation. The Astana International Financial Center confirmed that it intends to actively support projects aimed at developing digital infrastructure in the capital markets.
It should be noted that earlier in Kazakhstan they announced the launch of the experimental zone CryptoCity, where the use of cryptocurrencies in civil circulation will be allowed. In addition, the country is preparing to create a national operator for the exchange of crypto assets, which further emphasizes the course towards the integration of digital technologies into the economy.
