According to the latest developments, preparations for regulations that will create mobility in the cryptocurrency ecosystem are in full swing. İbrahim Ömer Gönül, Chairman of the Capital Markets Board (CMB), announced that new steps for cryptocurrencies will be implemented very soon. Gönül’s statement signaled that highly anticipated regulations are on the way.
On the verge of a new era
Capital Markets Board (CMB) Chairman İbrahim Ömer Gönül announced that Turkey is preparing to implement new regulations for cryptocurrencies. Thus, he signaled an important step towards clarifying the details of cryptocurrency regulations in the country. The lack of regulation has created uncertainty for investors and market actors in the rapidly growing crypto asset market. CMB Chairman Gönül said, “We are taking steps to implement secondary regulations on cryptocurrencies very soon.” This statement indicates that an important stage has been reached to clarify the details of cryptocurrency regulations in Turkey.
The rapidly growing crypto asset market, especially in recent years, has been facing uncertainty for both investors and market actors due to lack of regulation. Turkey’s aim to approach international standards by setting clearer rules in this area is also noteworthy.
The content of the regulations and the process
Although the scope of the new regulations is not yet clear, it is expected to detail the licensing and auditing processes, especially for crypto asset service providers. With these steps, the framework that exchanges, wallet providers and other service providers operating in the sector must comply with will be clarified. The CMB will conduct on-site inspections of service providers after the secondary regulations enter into force. In this process, the legal compliance status of companies will be evaluated and those that meet the necessary criteria will be authorized.
Cryptocurrency users in Turkey hope that the new regulations will contribute to protecting investor rights and increasing market transparency. Some experts in the sector emphasize that the impact of the regulations on the widespread use of cryptocurrencies and innovation should be carefully monitored. Recent allegations of fraud and security vulnerabilities against cryptocurrency exchanges have increased the importance of such regulations. The regulations aim to protect investors against fraud and similar risks.
Turkey’s cryptocurrency policy
Turkey is among the countries accelerating its efforts to regulate cryptocurrencies. In previous statements by the Ministry of Finance and Treasury, it was stated that the crypto asset market should be controlled on the one hand and innovative solutions should be encouraged on the other. This step of the CMB supports the government’s general approach. In the international arena, there is an increasing trend towards cryptocurrency regulations. The European Union’s MiCA regulations and the US crackdown on crypto exchanges have caused Turkey to accelerate its steps in this area. The CMB’s secondary regulations could make Turkey more competitive in this area.
