Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, April 9

​​Kyrgyzstan is strengthening its position as a regional cryptocurrency hub by advancing digital asset regulations, testing legal frameworks, and launching licensed platforms. A significant milestone in this direction is the introduction of A7A5 - a stablecoin designed to bring greater stability and utility to the crypto ecosystem. Issued by the Kyrgyz company Old Vector, A7A5 complies with local regulatory standards and is supported by the government.

A Leading Global Crypto Hub

Under the strategic direction set by the country’s president, Kyrgyzstan has implemented a comprehensive legal framework to regulate the cryptocurrency market. For the first time, the nation has introduced full-fledged digital asset legislation, covering key industry aspects such as exchanges and token issuers. This has led to the creation of an institutional infrastructure previously absent from the market.

One of the notable innovations is the licensing of token issuance under state supervision. Regulatory bodies ensure that token emissions comply with regulations, maintain fiat reserves, undergo periodic audits, and meet obligations to token holders. Kyrgyzstan, therefore, offers one of the most transparent and secure tokenization models worldwide.

The first issuance of A7A5 (minting) was conducted in full accordance with the new national legislation, overseen by regulatory authorities, and allocated to a registered, regulated broker.

Currently, A7A5 is available for trading on the regulated Meer Exchange and is expected to be listed on decentralized platforms in the near future. Its fiat reserves are securely held in bank accounts, with independent firms conducting quarterly audits. The key advantage of A7A5 is the opportunity to earn up to 20% annually, thanks to a combination of stable reserve-backed support and additional income strategies powered by the DeFi ecosystem.

A Viable Alternative for Investors

The digital asset market is evolving toward the integration of traditional finance with decentralized technologies. Stablecoins enable users to:

  • Transition from volatile crypto assets to stable currencies while remaining within the blockchain ecosystem.
  • Freely trade against the U.S. dollar, the world’s primary reserve currency.
  • Participate in DeFi protocols with the potential for near-fixed returns.

Despite the overall growth of the stablecoin market, non-dollar-denominated stablecoins remain in an early stage of development.

Limited Currency Diversification

Although the stablecoin market has grown significantly, those pegged to currencies other than the U.S. dollar see relatively low trading volumes:

  • USDT exceeds $60 billion in daily transactions.
  • USDC processes around $6 billion daily.
  • Stablecoins in yen and yuan are nearly absent from major exchanges and DeFi protocols.
  • Stablecoins in emerging market currencies (rubles, reais, rupees, etc.) are virtually non-existent in the crypto market.

This limits the potential for robust currency strategies, including FX and carry trades, which form the backbone of the global financial market, with a daily volume exceeding $7 trillion.

The Challenges of Carry Trade in Crypto

Executing a traditional carry trade strategy in the digital space requires key missing elements:

  • A widely used global strategy involves borrowing in JPY at a low-interest rate and investing in USD. However, DeFi lacks infrastructure to borrow in yen or other non-dollar currencies, making such a strategy unfeasible.
  • The reverse strategy—borrowing in dollars within DeFi—is possible, but no infrastructure exists to invest in fixed-income emerging market assets or hedge currency risk with derivatives.

A7A5: A Solution for the Crypto Market

The launch of A7A5, followed by its listing on both centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges, expands investment opportunities in the crypto space by enabling:

  • Participation in income-generating strategies involving emerging market assets.
  • Hedging currency risks through derivatives.
  • Direct and synthetic access to Real-World Assets (RWA) via digital infrastructure.

A7A5 is tailored for investors seeking next-generation technologies to maximize returns, given the limited options in traditional finance.

Listing on Meer Exchange ensures liquidity, transparency, and institutional access to a new class of digital assets connected to emerging markets.
