Turkish Crypto Legislation: Key Points to Consider

in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Compliance

Turkey, known for its significant presence in the global cryptocurrency economy, is anticipated to unveil crypto-related regulations within this year.

In January, Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek indicated that the local crypto legislation was near completion. However, despite expectations for early 2024, the draft legislation has not yet been introduced.

As Turkey’s stance on crypto remains ambiguous, there’s a need to clarify the current status of crypto regulation in the country. To shed light on this, Cointelegraph consulted with local industry experts.

Existing Crypto Regulations in Turkey

Although formal legislation is pending, Turkey already has some informal regulations governing cryptocurrencies.

Ismail Hakki Polat, a local cryptocurrency mentor, highlights the presence of “very slight regulations,” including a Central Bank initiative from 2021 that restricts crypto holders from using cryptocurrencies as legal tender. However, the absence of parliamentary backing leaves uncertainties regarding enforcement.

Additionally, there are Anti-Money Laundering (AML) measures overseen by the Ministry of Finance’s Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK). These measures mandate exchanges to collect Know Your Customer (KYC) data to prevent illicit activities.

Turkey’s Significance in the Global Crypto Market

Turkey stands as one of the major players in the global cryptocurrency market, boasting the fourth-largest trading volume worldwide, estimated at $170 billion. This prominence underscores Turkey’s high adoption rate, with studies suggesting that up to 40% of its citizens hold crypto.

Reasons for Introducing Crypto Regulations

Turkey’s move to enact crypto regulations aligns with efforts to exit the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) “gray list,” associated with Anti-Money Laundering measures. Compliance with FATF guidelines is crucial to prevent virtual assets from being exploited for criminal activities.

Anticipated Provisions of the Crypto Law

The forthcoming legislation aims to regulate and license crypto exchanges, defining their responsibilities and liabilities. Notably, it will address investor protection, a critical concern highlighted by the Thodex exchange collapse in 2021.

Furthermore, the law is expected to establish a legal framework for crypto taxes, including transaction taxes and declaration requirements for citizens.

Uncertainty Surrounding the Timing of Legislation

Despite expectations for early enactment, the exact release date of Turkey’s crypto legislation remains uncertain. Speculations tie it to the upcoming meeting of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control in June, with some predicting a release by May or the end of the parliamentary season.

However, delays may push the legislation’s introduction to later in the year, potentially impacting Turkey’s status on the FATF’s “gray list.”

Overall, Turkey’s journey towards formalizing crypto regulations reflects its commitment to navigating the evolving landscape of digital assets.
