Almost all nations where crypto adoption is surging steadily, have either prepared their set of rules for the crypto industry and some of them are still working closely to structure a transparent set of rules for the industry. 
Mehmet Simsek, the finance minister of Turkey most recently revealed that the country is almost ready with the crypto regulations. The move of drafting a set of rules in the nation is to establish a regulated environment for crypto asset trading platforms within the region. 
Several reports claim that the motive behind these regulations is to battle risks that are commonly faced by users in the crypto industry and assets. The successful application of yet-to-be-implemented laws will help the nation over the removal of its name from the Gray list.&nbsp; 
The gray list signifies the list of nations that have taken less/insufficient measures to battle money laundering and terror funding activities. However, Turkey is one of those nations that processes a significant number of raw crypto transactions.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Turkey is facing high inflation and the currency of the nation is also losing its value in comparison of US dollars. For the past few months, Turkey has been working towards its exit from the FATF gray list. The recognition under this reduces legal investment in that nation that holds the position in the list.&nbsp;
