> The largest cryptocurrency exchange in Uzbekistan

Asterium is a licensed cryptocurrency exchange based in Uzbekistan. It lets users buy, sell, and store crypto assets and tokenized gold through a web and mobile platform.

Asterium is a licensed cryptocurrency exchange operating in Uzbekistan, offering trading, custody, and retail crypto services to individual and business users. It provides a platform for buying and selling digital assets against local currency or stablecoins, along with secure storage and payment card integration. The platform is aimed at retail users seeking a straightforward way to enter the crypto market as well as businesses seeking payment and settlement tools.

The platform addresses the need for regulated access to digital assets within Uzbekistan by holding licenses covering exchange, depository, and retail crypto-shop activities. Users complete identity verification, fund their accounts in local currency or stablecoins, and trade through a web or mobile interface designed to be simple for non-technical users. Custody of assets is handled through the platform's own depository function, and payments can be settled through integrated card networks.

Beyond spot trading, Asterium offers a crypto wallet application, a payment card linked to crypto balances, and tokenized gold as an additional asset class, along with infrastructure for business clients including bulk payouts and crypto acquiring. It also acts as custodian for a government-linked tokenized asset initiative. The platform serves individual users looking to hold and transact in digital assets as well as merchants and companies integrating crypto payments into their operations.
