Founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, has recommended BNB and Bitcoin (BTC) 
$108,428 as initial assets for Kyrgyzstan’s planned national cryptocurrency reserve. Zhao’s suggestion aims to accelerate Bishkek’s vision for a “crypto reserve.” Previously accepting an invitation from Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov, Zhao announced his active involvement in the newly formed National Cryptocurrency Committee. This committee will clarify the reserve strategy and align the country’s cryptocurrency regulations with global standards.
Zhao Recommends Incorporating BNB and BTC
Zhao’s proposal is grounded in creating a diversified cryptocurrency base for the Kyrgyz economy. BNB, as a cornerstone of the Binance ecosystem, is known for lowering transaction costs, and Bitcoin has long held the position of “digital gold.” Economists suggest that the combination of these two assets could enhance liquidity and buffer the reserve against market fluctuations. In particularly, mining potential-rich Kyrgyzstan sees Bitcoin reserves as a new avenue to harness its energy resources.
The BNB option offers a broader strategic opening. BNB Smart Chain’s smart contract capabilities could allow Kyrgyzstan’s local financial institutions to develop blockchain-based payment solutions.
Officials are discussing starting the reserve with a limited portfolio and potentially expanding it to include stablecoins and other major cryptocurrencies. Binance’s technical support is expected to play a critical role in this expansion, providing guidance on infrastructure, custody solutions, and regulatory compliance.
Zhao Joins the National Committee
Zhao’s participation in the National Cryptocurrency Committee has given Kyrgyzstan’s crypto vision a global showcase. The committee consists of representatives from the central bank, Ministry of Finance, and the private sector. Zhao will offer strategic advice and propose audit criteria for the transparent management of the crypto reserve. Additionally, the committee aims to integrate international standards in combating money laundering and protecting consumers.
Kyrgyz authorities plan to present a comprehensive regulatory package by the year’s end to strengthen the legal framework. This package includes tax exemptions, mining incentives, and the establishment of blockchain innovation centers.
There are talks of Zhao potentially investing in Kyrgyz ventures through Binance Labs, positioning the country as a hub for cryptocurrency innovation in Central Asia.
