Kazakhstan’s Crypto Gambit: Solana & Mastercard Join the Chaos!

The National Bank of Kazakhstan, that paragon of fiscal sanity, has embarked on a pilot for Evo (KZTE), a stablecoin that claims to be tethered to the tenge. 🧵 Yet, one wonders if this is a mere illusion, a gilded cage for the unsuspecting.
