Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s President, reportedly declared the nation’s crypto law ‘is ready’ and the parliament will receive it without details. Meanwhile, the country’s Financial Crime Investigation Board, MASAK, fined Binance over defilements pointed out amid liability inspection.
Turkish Crypto Law Is Ready
ABC Gazetesi revealed that the Turkish head of state said that the nation’s crypto law was ready. Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that on Friday at a summit with journalists. Moreover, the president revealed that the parliament would receive the new law soon.
After the announcement by the president, Anadolu news agency unveiled that Financial Crime Investigation Board fined Binance Turkey $751,314 (8M lira) over desecrations revealed during the watchdog’s liability inspection.

The exchange declared an active following on changing rules, laws, and policies in this space. Moreover, Binance Turkey stated it thrives for a healthy, safe, and sustainable ecosystem.
The president declared that Turkey was at war with digital coins in September. Furthermore, AK Party deputy chairman Binali Yildirim stated that crypto also opens the past to grievances. With that, Yildirim proposes control over cryptocurrencies.
Turkey published regulations for cryptocurrency trading platforms in May. That came after investigating several crypto exchanges for fraud. The trading exchanges included Vebitcoin and Thodex. Also, the central bank in the country banned crypto payments in the country.
Meanwhile, different jurisdictions appear concerned with the booming crypto industry. Nations like China banned the asset while other countries believe regulation is the best approach. However, most nations seemed undecided as far as crypto regulations are concerned.
India concluded its Parliament winter sessions without mentioning the much-awaited crypto bill. The regulators promised to complete the cryptocurrency law before the concluded parliament session. Nevertheless, RBI has wanted a complete ban on digital coins, citing financial stability.
