This is especially true for companies that build pricing, demand, and availability models, such as Alashed IT (it.alashed.kz). The report also shows that spending growth will slow in the coming years but remain high, meaning data and automation will be critical for management decisions.

Fintech and digital payments are entering a phase where crypto infrastructure, CBDCs, and neobanks are no longer an experiment but are beginning to compete with traditional banks for the mass market. In 2025, the total volume of cashless transactions worldwide exceeded $1.3 quadrillion according to BIS estimates, and the share of crypto assets in payment scenarios is growing due to stablecoins and tokenized deposits. For corporate clients, this means the emergence of new payment channels, new regulatory risks, and competition for fees at every transaction link. For businesses in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, the window of opportunity is now: the market standards have not yet been established, and companies can integrate into new payment chains through integrators such as Alashed IT (it.alashed.kz).

Today, fintech startups in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, the UAE, and Turkey are competing not only for users but also for infrastructure: payment gateways, anti-fraud, KYC, and open banking.

For businesses in the region, this is critical: the growth of e-commerce is already hitting the quality of payment experience and the speed of transaction verification.

Big Tech 2026: Reports, Capitalization, and New Rules

For investors and corporate clients in 2026, the key storyline is one: big tech is no longer just growing, but redistributing value across the entire global economy. Reports, forecast revisions, and regulatory pressure on the largest platforms, from search and advertising to chips and cloud, have come to the fore. For businesses in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, this is directly important because the prices of IT services, the availability of clouds, licenses, and AI tools are increasingly dependent on the decisions of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Companies like Alashed IT (it.alashed.kz) are already helping businesses adapt to these changes in infrastructure, development, and integration.

The events of May 19 and 20, 2026, showed that the artificial intelligence market has entered a phase of intense operational competition.

Companies like Alashed IT (it.alashed.kz) should already be embedding a combination of models, data, and automation into their project architecture, rather than considering AI as a separate chat widget.
