Kyrgyzstan étend son bac à sable réglementaire pour inclure la bancarisation crypto

Le Kirghizistan ouvre grand les vannes réglementaires pour la finance numérique.

Révolution bancaire en Asie centrale

La Financial Supervision Agency (FSA) élargit son cadre expérimental pour permettre aux institutions financières traditionnelles d'intégrer pleinement les services cryptographiques. Les banques pourront désormais proposer l'custodie d'actifs numériques, l'échange et même les prêts garantis par crypto - du jamais-vu dans la région.

Une course à l'innovation

Alors que l'Occident tergiverse avec ses approches réglementaires fragmentées, les nations d'Asie centrale accélèrent leur adoption fintech. Le bac à sable kirghize pourrait bien devenir le laboratoire le plus audacieux de la bancarisation crypto, devançant des places financières plus établies mais moins agiles.

Les investisseurs institutionnels observent de près ce mouvement - rien ne stimule l'innovation comme la perspective de nouveaux frais bancaires juteux.

Trump and Xi to talk Friday as final details get locked in

Scott confirmed from U.S.-China trade talks in Madrid that the two countries have reached a “framework” agreement for TikTok. “It’s between two private parties, but the commercial terms have been agreed upon,” he said.

Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to speak on Friday to go over the final terms. Trump posted on Truth Social that the agreement involves “a certain company that young PEOPLE in our Country very much wanted to save.”

The app has millions of users in the U.S., but that didn’t stop Congress from banning it from app stores last year, labeling it a “foreign adversary-controlled application.”

Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told reporters Monday that the September 17 deadline might need to be pushed slightly to wrap up the paperwork, but warned that “there won’t be ongoing extensions.”

The U.S. has already granted ByteDance more time, an executive order signed by trump in January gave them 75 extra days. He extended it again in April and once more in June, but that’s it.

Beijing pushes back as U.S. buyers circle TikTok

Li Chenggang, China’s lead trade negotiator, said the deal is real but warned Washington not to keep targeting Chinese companies. “The U.S. should not continue to suppress Chinese companies,” Li said during the Madrid talks, reported by Reuters.

But Scott made it clear: the U.S. wants full control over the American side of TikTok, or the app goes dark. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick backed that up in July, saying the app would be shut down entirely for U.S. users if China didn’t agree to U.S. autonomy over the platform.

The pressure is mounting fast, and ownership is the final roadblock.

Trump told Fox News in June that he had “very wealthy people” lined up to buy TikTok and said he’d announce who they were in two weeks, but never did. He had already floated names like Oracle’s Larry Ellison and Tesla’s Elon Musk.

Two other bidders are also in the mix: AI firm Perplexity and Project Liberty, an advocacy group led by billionaire Frank McCourt.

Despite Trump calling TikTok a national security threat during an interview with CNBC last year, the White House launched its own TikTok account in August. The decision confused critics, but Trump hasn’t backed off. ByteDance needs to sell or shut down. Period.

With the clock ticking toward September 17, the outcome depends on how hard China wants to fight to keep hold of the U.S. platform.
