Rustam Khalilov
Writer and editor of Crypto in Central Asia
Reports on crypto across Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, country by country.
What Rustam Khalilov covers here
Everything published on Crypto in Central Asia is written by one person, and the scope is deliberately narrow: regulation, exchange, offramp, onramp, local banking, licensing, industries, stablecoin payments, otc, compliance. Articles stay inside it rather than chasing whatever is trending.
How the writing is checked
Figures carry the date they were taken. Claims that can be verified link to a primary source rather than to another article summarising it. Where something is genuinely uncertain, the article says so instead of rounding the uncertainty away.
Corrections are published with a note saying what changed and when. If you find an error, the contact page is the fastest route.
