1. Unauthorised Promotion of Investment and Digital Asset Services Using the Name of Unilive Central Asia Ltd.
The Astana Financial Services Authority hereby issues a public alert regarding the regulatory status of Unilive Central Asia Ltd. and concerns relating to the promotion of investment and digital asset services in connection with the Company.
The Company was registered in the AIFC under BIN 260240901514 on 26 February 2026 as a holding company with the purpose of owning and managing equity interests in group companies. The Company was originally registered under the name “Unimex Exchange Central Asia Ltd.” and changed its name to “Unilive Central Asia Ltd.” on 10 April 2026.
The AFSA has identified information indicating that investment‑related activities and promotional materials have been circulating on social media platforms, posted by certain individuals referencing or promoting Unilive Central Asia Ltd., describing and advertising promised returns on funds, including daily returns and the ability to withdraw funds at any time, and referencing activities involving digital assets.
The AFSA wishes to clarify that the Company is not licensed or authorised by the AFSA to provide Financial Services, including Regulated Activities in relation to Digital Assets, and is not authorised to make Financial Promotions in relation to such Financial Services within or from the AIFC.
Members of the public and potential investors are advised to take note of the above information when dealing with or considering any engagement with the Company.
The AFSA strongly advises members of the public to:
- Exercise extreme caution when approached with offers promising guaranteed or daily investment returns, particularly involving digital assets;
- Verify the status of any company before engaging with its financial services or products by consulting the AFSA Public Register, which contains up-to-date information on all AIFC Participants authorized and/or registered by the AFSA.
If you have been approached with such offers, or have concerns regarding unauthorised financial services or promotions, you are encouraged to report the matter to the AFSA via email to hotline@afsa.kz.
2. Impersonation of Jade Capital OEIC Ltd. and Circulation of a Falsified AFSA Licence
The AFSA also is issuing this alert following information received regarding individuals falsely presenting themselves as representatives of Jade Capital OEIC Ltd. and circulating a falsified licence purportedly issued by AFSA.
These individuals have been soliciting members of the public with offers of financial services, and have been accepting client funds under the false representation that they operate as an Authorised Firm within the AIFC.
The AFSA confirms that the licence purportedly issued in its name and circulated by these individuals is falsified and has never been issued by the AFSA. As part of the Collective Investment Scheme structure under the AIFC framework, it is the Fund Manager – not the fund itself – that is required to hold a licence to carry out Regulated Activities. Jade Capital OEIC Ltd. is registered in the AIFC as an investment fund and does not hold a licence in its own right. All Regulated Activities are conducted by its Fund Manager.
The AFSA warns the public to exercise utmost caution when dealing with entities claiming to provide financial services on the basis of an AFSA licence, and encourages the public to verify the status of any such entity through the Public Register, which contains information on all entities authorised and/or registered by the AFSA.
