The MoU outlined a framework for collaboration to assess if companies could list their securities on AIX and offer a tokenized listing on Interbix powered by the Solana blockchain and Jupiter. According to Astana International Exchange (AIX) CEO Assel Mukazhanova, the partnership will unlock new efficiencies, increase access to capital markets, and give companies and investors the best traditional and digital asset ecosystems. The MoU aims to explore dual listing mechanisms and blockchain integration The parties involved in the MoU committed to work together to explore the technical and commercial aspects of the mechanism. The parties demonstrated a shared vision to create a robust, transparent, secure dual listing framework. “This agreement marks a significant step toward the convergence of conventional capital markets and next generation blockchain based platforms. By joining forces, we are shaping an environment where innovation and trust go hand in hand.” –Assel Mukazhanova, CEO of AIX Jupiter said implementing the dual listing mechanism would begin a better approach to IPOs.
