Writes from Almaty about buying and selling crypto with tenge.

What Aidana Serikova covers here

Everything published on Tenge & Coin is written by one person, and the scope is deliberately narrow: onramp, offramp, tenge conversion, local banking, exchange, otc, stablecoin payments, cards, compliance, custody. 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.
