In a surprising shift, Turkmenistan — one of the world’s most closed economies — has officially legalised cryptocurrency mining and exchanges. President Serdar Berdimuhamedov has signed new legislation bringing virtual assets under civil law for the first time.

The new framework introduces a licensing system for crypto exchanges, which will be regulated by the country’s central bank, marking a major step toward digital asset adoption in a nation long reliant on natural gas.

This move signals Turkmenistan’s growing interest in diversifying its economy and embracing the global crypto ecosystem. A big development to watch in Central Asia’s crypto landscape. 📈🔥
