Tajikistan has taken a significant leap forward in its digital transformation with the introduction of ST-Exchange, the country’s first national platform for trading and investing in digital assets.
The announcement was made at the Digital Tajikistan PLUS-Forum and the Dushanbe Invest 2025 exhibition, The Caspian Post reports via Tajik media.
The platform was developed by Service and Technology, a Dushanbe-based tech company and resident of the Dushanbe IT Park. The launch of ST-Exchange is being hailed as a milestone for the nation's fintech sector and a key step in building a modern digital economy.
From Telecom Infrastructure to Fintech Innovation
Established in 2012, Service and Technology began its journey as a telecommunications service provider, working on mobile infrastructure and network maintenance. Over time, the company evolved into a multidisciplinary IT firm, offering services in web and mobile development, data analytics, digital integration, and business process automation.
Joining the Dushanbe IT Park enabled the company to expand into fintech and blockchain development, a transition the company describes as moving “from communication technologies to technologies of trust.”
A Secure, Regulated Digital Asset Platform
ST-Exchange aims to create a secure, transparent digital ecosystem where users can safely trade and invest in digital assets. Built in line with international best practices, the platform incorporates KYC (Know Your Customer), AML (Anti-Money Laundering), and KYT (Know Your Transaction) protocols to ensure compliance and security.
The system is fully integrated with Tajikistan’s banking infrastructure and payment gateways, allowing users to perform transactions in the national currency. This integration positions ST-Exchange as a central hub for digital finance, accessible to both individuals and businesses.
Currently in its final testing phase, the platform has completed its core development, with internal security audits underway. A full public launch is expected soon.
Key Features of ST-Exchange
The platform offers a wide range of capabilities, including:
A user-friendly interface;
Online identity verification;
Secure trading of digital assets;
Access to tokenized investment projects;
Real-time asset tracking;
Direct bank account integration.
The service is designed to serve both private investors and businesses looking to raise capital through digital financial tools.
"This is not an anonymous exchange," the company stated. "ST-Exchange is a regulated national platform, built on trust, reliability, and globally recognized technology standards.”
A Catalyst for Economic Growth
The launch of ST-Exchange is expected to open new markets for digital finance in Tajikistan, boost transparency in investment practices, and support the country’s broader fintech ecosystem. It also positions Tajikistan as an emerging player in the global digital economy, with the platform creating opportunities for cross-border partnerships and innovation.
A Project Backed by Experience
With over 13 years in the tech industry, Service and Technology has a proven record in delivering large-scale, secure technology projects. ST-Exchange is the latest result of that expertise - a homegrown innovation with the potential for regional and international impact.
Already considered Tajikistan’s most ambitious fintech initiative to date, ST-Exchange marks a significant step in the country’s digital and economic evolution.
