Allows investors to have direct exposure to the price of Bitcoin.
Kazakhstan advanced in digital finance. F. Capital launched the region’s 1st BTC ETF. On Aug 13th, 2025, AIX began trading the product. This first ETF will revolutionize the field of crypto investment accessibility in the Central Asia region.
The Fonte Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund OEIC (BETF) does not have Bitcoin futures as such, but physical Bitcoin. This implies that investors can directly experience the price fluctuations of Bitcoin. The AIFC oversees this Fund, which is denominated in US dollars.
Their most important characteristic is custody with BitGo Trust, a regulated company in the U.S. BitGo will hold the Bitcoin that supports BETF in an offline environment and is insured up to a value of $250 million.
The custody protection offers institutional-level security by resolving hacking and theft issues. Cold storage vaults provided by BitGo give the investors peace of mind.
This ETF does not require the use of a personal wallet or keys, as is the case with a normal crypto investment. BETF shares are available to investors via conventional brokerage accounts on AIX. This makes crypto investment easy, and at the same time, regulators can oversee the investment, which is a smooth transition into digital assets, both to retail and institutional investors.
Since China prohibited the practice of Bitcoin mining in 2021, Kazakhstan has become a mining giant on the world stage. The availability of cheap electricity powered by coal and crypto-friendly policies in the country attracted large-scale mining operations in the country.
The ETF introduction of Fonte Capital is an extension of this movement by bringing the power of Kazakhstan into digital asset finance.
The AIFC legal system prevents international sanctions and external domination of assets. It allows licensed crypto exchanges, custodians, and investment products to trade safely in Kazakhstan.
This makes AIX a local centre of digital asset trade and innovation. Now that regulated spot Bitcoin ETFs are available, Kazakhstan can join global markets like the US, Canada, and Hong Kong.

This ETF helps the Kazakhstan crypto ecosystem to experience better liquidity and wider market participation. It provides cost-effective and efficient portfolio diversification at the exposure of the price of Bitcoin without the traditional crypto barriers.
