AnchorX, a Hong Kong-based fintech company specializing in stablecoins, has signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) in Kazakhstan. This development occurred during its participation in the Mainland-Hong Kong Joint Business Mission from May 16-25, 2024, which visited Hungary, Kazakhstan, and Xinjiang to explore partnership opportunities along the Belt and Road (B&R) routes.
The mission invited AnchorX to leverage its stablecoin expertise, advancing technological innovation and the digital economy with B&R partners. AnchorX intends to use its stablecoin offerings, including the HKD-backed AxHKD, to facilitate cross-border trade and business between Hong Kong and B&R partner countries.
The first MOU is with the Astana International Financial Centre Authority (AIFC Authority), the regulatory body developing the AIFC as a leading financial hub for Central Asia, the Caucasus, EAEU, and Western China. The second MOU is with Aral Petroleum Capital, a major oil and gas company in Eastern Kazakhstan.
Conflux Network, providing the technology for AxHKD, is working with the Chinese government on the “Ultra-Large Scale Blockchain Infrastructure Platform for the Belt and Road.” This platform aims to create a state-of-the-art blockchain foundation to support deployment across multiple countries and enable collaborative supervision across various domains.
