Turkey: a pioneer in cryptocurrency regulation

With the recently adopted changes in the law, Turkey has taken a striking step to regulate cryptocurrencies. These measures are intended to strengthen investor protection and create a more transparent and safer environment. The initiative underlines the will of Türkiye to continue to adapt to international standards and to promote confidence in its expanding market, which is characterized by its resistance despite global challenges.

The rise of Türkiye in the cryptocurrency sector

Turkey has developed into one of the leading cryptocurrency -friendly markets worldwide. According to the global adoption index 2024 of Chainalysis, Turkey occupies 11th place in the global adoption of cryptocurrencies and thus exceeds many EU countries, including Germany and Poland. The high inflation and a technology -savvy population have a significant share in this growth.

Despite a ban on cryptocurrencies imposed in 2021, the market in Turkey shows a remarkable robustness. The country is the largest cryptom market in the Middle East and North Africa, with platforms such as OKX Türkiye have achieved a transaction volume of $ 2.5 billion.

The new crypto rules in Turkey

On March 13, 2025, Turkey published its most comprehensive laws to regulate cryptocurrencies. As part of this legislation, the capital market supervisory authority (CMB) receives full responsibility for cryptoplatt forms. Providers of crypto services, including stock exchanges and wallet providers, must meet strict license requirements. These platforms must operate as stock corporations with a defined minimum capital request and observe strict compliance measures such as proof-of-reserve audits and robust internal controls.

The new guidelines are based on global regulations and are inspired by both the EU MICA guidelines and the regulations of the US SEC. A central element of these regulations is the obligation to report all transactions and the ban on highly volatile assets.

measures to protect investors

The focus of the new crypto legislation in Turkey is on the protection of investors and the fight against money laundering. Cryptoplatt forms are obliged to verify the identity of users over 15,000 Turkish lira (approx. $ 425). Unknown Wallets are subject to intensive surveillance, and providers can mark transactions as "risky" and, if necessary, freeze. These requirements significantly improve the combating of money laundering by prescribing the recording and passing on of identification data between the transaction parties.

The new regulations transform the cryptol landscape in Turkey, with stricter regulations forcing smaller exchanges to consolidate themselves or to leave the market. Large actors such as Binance Tr and OKX TR have already applied for licenses under the new regulatory framework.

FAZIT

The regulatory measures in Turkey could lead to a safer but more concentrated crypto market. While compliance costs could potentially impair the innovative strength of smaller startups, the new regulations aim to strengthen the trust and legitimacy of the cryptocurrency industry in traditional financial institutions. In a constantly developing global environment, Turkey, with its new regulations, courageously shows that it is ready to take on a leading role in the future design of the cryptocurrency market.
