 — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is pleased to announce a partnership with Fonte Capital Ltd, one of Kazakhstan’s leading investment management companies. This collaboration reinforces Bybit Kazakhstan’s position as the go-to platform for institutional investors seeking secure, transparent, and regulated access to digital assets.

As part of this partnership, Fonte Capital — a regulated fund manager under the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) — has selected Bybit Kazakhstan as one of the trading platforms supporting the launch and ongoing management of Kazakhstan’s first Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (BETF). The Fund, listed on the Astana International Exchange (AIX), offers both institutional and retail investors regulated access to Bitcoin, further strengthening Kazakhstan’s position as a regional hub for digital asset innovation.

Bybit Kazakhstan’s advanced trading infrastructure, deep liquidity, and institutional-grade security will ensure seamless execution and price discovery for Fonte Capital’s Bitcoin transactions, supporting the fund’s performance while upholding the highest regulatory and operational standards.

“At Bybit Kazakhstan, we are committed to building a digital asset ecosystem that meets the evolving needs of institutional investors,” said Ablaikhan Aubakir, Country Manager at Bybit Kazakhstan. “Fonte Capital’s decision to partner with us for the launch of Kazakhstan’s first Bitcoin ETF underscores Bybit’s credibility as a trusted platform for regulated investment firms. This partnership reflects our broader vision to attract institutional capital and establish Bybit Kazakhstan as a cornerstone of the region’s digital asset landscape.”

Fonte Capital’s engagement with Bybit Kazakhstan not only boosts platform liquidity and trading volumes but also sends a clear signal to other regulated fund managers and institutional investors. By partnering with Bybit as one of its service providers, Fonte Capital — which operates multiple regulated unvestment funds in Kazakhstan — demonstrates confidence in Bybit Kazakhstan’s compliance, security, and market infrastructure.
