The Uzbek officials have begun awarding regulatory licences to regional bitcoin service providers as they prepare the country to implement a new cryptocurrency framework in 2023.

According to a declaration on November 17, Uzbekistan’s primary cryptocurrency market regulator, the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP), has granted the country’s first cryptocurrency licences.

The licences formally permit two “cryptocurrency retailers,” Crypto Trade NET LLC and Crypto Market LLC, to provide services associated with cryptocurrencies.

shareholder and creator:

According to information from the NAPP’s electronic licence record, both Crypto Trade NET and Crypto Market are situated in Tashkent. The report also lists Kamolitdin Nuritdinov as the sole creator and shareholder of the Crypto Market. The sole founder and stakeholder of Crypto Trade NET are Behzod Achilov.

At the time of writing, none of the platforms appeared to have an active website.

According to the announcement, the NAPP has granted licences to the two businesses by the presidential decree that established guidelines for the circulation of digital assets in Uzbekistan and was published in April 2022.

According to the statement, “Crypto stores are designed to give simpler access for citizens to acquire or sell crypto assets.”
