Turkey’s Crypto Crackdown Leaves Investors Scrambling
BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,082, June 28, 2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Turkey has decided to throw down the gauntlet on the cryptocurrency industry. It has assigned money laundering and terror financing regulations to the nascent market, leaving Turkish crypto investors scrambling as they face sky-high inflation and a severely weakened national currency.
In a Turkish presidential decree on May 1, cryptocurrency exchanges were added to a list of institutions that must operate under anti-money laundering and terrorism regulations, effective immediately. The decree targets “crypto-asset service providers” that are already subject to existing regulations and that will now shoulder the additional burden of preventing digital assets on their platforms from being used illegally.
