Türkiye’s Crypto Ecosystem: A Journey from Curiosity to Reality
As we move into 2025, Türkiye’s crypto landscape is at a crucial juncture. It’s marked by growing awareness, evolving regulations, and a maturing market. This change reflects a broader shift in how crypto is perceived and integrated into daily life.
Over the years, crypto has evolved from a niche interest to a mainstream financial reality. Paribu’s annual survey shows 99% public awareness of crypto in Türkiye. This indicates crypto’s integration into everyday discussions.
Though, awareness is just the beginning. Understanding and trust are key. People now see crypto as a long-term investment and a tool for financial inclusion. In 2024, 27% of respondents traded crypto, up from 25.1% in 2023. This shift from short-term trading to long-term investment is significant.It calls for building lasting platforms and educating users.
Regulations are also evolving. In 2025, Türkiye introduced new frameworks, requiring crypto service providers to obtain licenses from the Capital Markets Board (SPK).While some see this as a constraint, it actually brings clarity and trust, fostering growth.
