As Uzbekistan prepares to adopt a new cryptocurrency framework in 2023, Uzbek regulators have begun issuing regulatory approvals to local crypto service providers.
The National Agency for Prospective Projects (NAPP), the main cryptocurrency market watchdog in Uzbekistan, has issued the country's first crypto licenses, according to an official announcement published on November 17.< /p>
The licenses officially authorize the offering of cryptocurrency-related services by two "cryptocurrency stores", including Crypto Trade NET LLC and Crypto Market LLC.
According to information from NAPP's Electronic License Register, Crypto Trade NET and Crypto Market are based in Tashkent. The data also refers to Kamolitdin Nuritdinov as the founder and sole shareholder of Crypto Market. Behzod Achilov is also the sole founder and shareholder of Crypto Trade NET.
None of the platforms appear to have a functioning website at the time of writing.
According to the announcement, the NAPP authorized the two companies based on the presidential decree issued in April 2022, which establishes rules for the circulation of crypto assets in Uzbekistan.
“Crypto shops are designed to make it easier for citizens to buy or sell crypto assets,” the statement reads, adding:
"The agency urges citizens to be as vigilant as possible and not to use the services of electronic platforms that have not received a license to operate in the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the prescribed manner. "
The news comes shortly after the government of Uzbekistan
