Turkey has added cryptocurrency trading platforms to the list of firms covered by anti-money laundering and terrorism financing regulation.
The Official Gazette said the country’s latest expansion of rules governing cryptocurrency transactions would take immediate effect and cover “crypto asset service providers”, which would be liable to the existing regulations.
In April 2021, Turkey’s central bank banned the use of crypto assets for payments on the grounds such transactions were risky.
In the days that followed, two Turkey-based cryptocurrency trading platforms were halted under separate investigations – Thodex and Vebitcoin.
