Bybit Kazakhstan, a licensed digital asset trading facility within the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), has officially launched its Private Wealth Management (PWM) service. This discretionary crypto investment management offering is tailored for high-net-worth individuals, corporate clients, and family offices in Kazakhstan.
The launch signifies Kazakhstan's deepening integration of digital assets into a regulated financial framework. The country has become a strategically important digital asset market in Central Asia, bolstered by a developed mining ecosystem, growing institutional participation, and regulatory clarity under the AIFC. "Kazakhstan is no longer just a crypto infrastructure hub — it is rapidly becoming a sophisticated investment market where capital is seeking professional management and long-term strategies," stated Ablaikhan Aubakir, Country Manager at Bybit Kazakhstan.
The PWM service allows clients to define investment objectives, time horizons, and risk parameters. A dedicated investment team then manages a tailored strategy, providing structured exposure to digital assets without requiring direct trading from the client. Key features include structured asset allocation to reduce concentration risk, institutional-grade risk management, regular performance reporting, and defined liquidity terms.
This service addresses a need in Kazakhstan's market, where large crypto holdings have often been managed informally or through offshore platforms. The PWM model aims to reduce operational, compliance, and governance risks for corporate treasuries (including mining and tech companies) and high-net-worth individuals seeking to integrate crypto into diversified portfolios.
Bybit's PWM division has demonstrated strong performance, with its flagship USDT-based strategy recording 49 consecutive months of positive returns as of January 2026. In that same month, a top-performing PWM fund delivered a 9.97% APR. Bybit also continues to expand its wealth solutions, recently launching Mantle Vault, a structured DeFi-linked product that reached $150 million in assets under management within two months.
