Cryptocurrency Law in Turkey — Law Bilal ALYAR
Languages: Türkçe | English
Our firm advises international clients on Turkish cryptocurrency regulations, Law No. 7518 compliance, P2P disputes, and international crypto fraud recovery.
Turkish Crypto Regulatory Framework
Law No. 7518 (enacted 2024) requires crypto-asset service providers to obtain a license. MASAK reporting, KYC procedures, and custody rules apply to platforms operating in Turkey.
Cross-Border Crypto Fraud Cases
Our team assists international investors defrauded through Turkish IPs or Turkish-resident perpetrators. We coordinate with INTERPOL, local prosecutors, and blockchain analytics firms.
P2P Transaction Disputes
Peer-to-peer platforms fall within consumer protection and criminal fraud jurisdiction. Recovery depends on rapid banking intervention and KYC disclosure requests.
Taxation for Foreign Investors
Non-resident investors may be subject to Turkish source taxation for crypto profits generated through Turkish platforms. Double taxation treaties apply where available.
Security Token Offerings Under CMB
Security-type tokens fall under Capital Markets Board (SPK) prospectus requirements. We advise on compliance, white-paper review, and licensing strategy.
