Crypto News – Turkey Crypto Legislation: Bridging the Gap to International Standards

Crypto News – The draft cryptocurrency bill was presented to parliament by the ruling party of Turkey on May 16. The bill is in line with the international standard and focuses on licensing and registration for crypto service providers. A Reuters report states that the draft bill intends to modernize current legislation in order to fully regulate the emerging cryptocurrency business.

The three main areas of concentration for the law are financial regulation compliance, platform transparency, and consumer protection. By mandating that crypto trading platforms and other industry service providers apply for licenses from Turkey’s Capital Markets Commission, the proposed legislation aims to regulate the industry.

Things to Know About the Bill

The draft law intends to regulate cryptocurrency asset service providers, cryptocurrency asset platforms, cryptocurrency asset storage, and cryptocurrency asset transactions that citizens of Turkey may engage in. The law ensures adherence to current financial standards by addressing the classification of cryptocurrencies and projects. Key lessons to be learned from the measure include:

  • The Capital Markets Board (SPK) must license and regulate cryptocurrency service providers.
  • Improved SPK supervision to safeguard customer assets and guarantee efficient dispute settlement.
  • Required income collection by SPK and TÜBİTAK from cryptocurrency service providers.
  • Prohibition of international cryptocurrency brokers to promote a regionally governed market.

By taking this action, Turkey hopes to improve the security and dependability of its domestic cryptocurrency market while also complying with international norms and allaying the concerns raised by the FATF.
