During a meeting of the Kyrgyzstan parliamentary committee on law and order, fighting crime, and combating corruption, Member of Parliament Karim Khanjeza advised creating and legalizing its own cryptocurrency amid growing crypto adoption in the country, reported local news agency AKIpress on March 30.

Furthermore, Kyrgyzstan MP considered amendments to the law for facilitating the process of creating and legalizing its own cryptocurrency. Also, he advised the appointment of an authorized government agency to oversee criminal activities and procedures.

Crypto adoption in Kyrgyzstan has rapidly grown in recent years, providing an opportunity to further grow the market in the country by creating and legalizing such a hub in Kyrgyzstan. It will establish the country’s dominance in the region.

In order to establish a crypto hub, Karim Khanjeza suggests assigning highly qualified crypto specialists. He thinks attracting Russian specialists can possibly advance creating a cryptocurrency.
