Astana International Exchange (“AIX” or “the Exchange”) is pleased to announce that 17 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered in Kazakhstan are now accessible through the Tabadul Digital Exchange Hub, a cross-border market access platform connecting participating exchanges and licensed brokers. The newly added ETFs include Units of Fonte Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund OEIC Plc., Units of Fonte Solana Exchange Traded Fund OEIC Plc., Units of ITS Shariah and World ETFs and global Single Stock ETFs offering exposure to individual global blue-chip equities.
The availability of these ETFs enables brokers connected to Tabadul to facilitate trading in Kazakhstan-domiciled products through existing market access arrangements, expanding the ranges of qualified investors.
Tabadul provides mutual market access between participating exchanges, allowing trading via local brokers without duplicate listings or additional market infrastructure. This framework supports operational efficiency in cross-border trading.
Assel Mukazhanova, CEO of AIX, commented:
“The inclusion of Kazakhstan-domiciled ETFs on the Tabadul Digital Exchange Hub represents a significant step toward broadening global access to Kazakhstan’s capital market. It enhances the profile of domestic investment products and promotes closer connectivity with regional markets.”
Tabadul Hub, developed by the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), is a digital platform creating a mutual market access network for different exchanges. Tabadul hub members include ADX, AIX, Bahrain Bourse (BHB), Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX), and Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE). At present, AIX has established inter-exchange trading activity with ADX.
