Highlighting the country’s economic challenges, including double-digit inflation, crypto has emerged as a critical financial resource for many Turks.
Amid fears of alienating many users, the Turkish government has taken a lenient stance on cryptocurrency, which has allowed the sector to thrive.
OKX announced its expansion plans into Turkey in early 2023, introducing USDT/TRY, BTC/TRY, and ETH/TRY trading pairs for local customers.
Central Turkish banks Akbank and Garanti BBVA have also initiated crypto projects, aligning with the nation’s movement towards establishing a crypto regulatory framework.
OKX’s operations extend beyond Turkey, including Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and the Bahamas.
