In Kyrgyzstan, requirements for participants in the virtual asset market will be tightened

The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan has adopted a new resolution aimed at improving the regulation of the virtual assets sector and creating more stable conditions for the growth of the cryptocurrency market.

According to the approved norms, existing service providers in the field of virtual assets are required to adjust the minimum amount of their authorized capital by March 1, 2026, in accordance with the requirements established by the regulation for operators of virtual asset trading (cryptocurrency exchanges). These requirements were previously enshrined in resolution No. 514, adopted on September 16, 2022.

In addition, paragraph 2 of the Cabinet of Ministers' resolution No. 117 dated March 6, 2025, which amended the rules for regulating virtual assets, has been repealed.

The new resolution will come into effect on January 1, 2026.
