<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Cryptocurrency</strong> continues to captivate <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">investors</a> globally, and Turkey is preparing to enter the regulatory arena with a proposed bill concerning crypto assets. It has been announced that the AK Party will present a comprehensive regulation plan to Parliament this week, aiming to bring platforms dealing with crypto assets under the authority of the Capital Markets Board (SPK).</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="aiming-for-clarity-and-stability">Aiming for Clarity and Stability</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Under the leadership of AK Party Group Chairman <strong>Abdullah Güler</strong>, the groundwork for this legislative effort has been meticulously prepared. According to BloombergHT, the proposal not only aims to facilitate the operations of crypto asset platforms but also to reduce the risks associated with such transactions and bring Turkey’s practices closer to international standards.</p> 
<p><img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-263416 size-full aligncenter" src="https://coin-turk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/turkiyede-kripto-kabulu-artiyor-mu-hangi-varliklar-dikkat-cekiyor.png" alt="" width="1112" height="616"></p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">At the heart of the proposed regulation is a comprehensive definition of crypto assets intended to encompass a wide variety of cryptocurrencies. The legislation aims to subject platforms facilitating <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/crypto-market-update-bitcoin-maintains-stability-as-altcoins-remain-calm/" data-wpel-link="internal">cryptocurrency</a> trading to licensing by the SPK, thereby increasing oversight and ensuring regulatory compliance. Key areas to be addressed include the secure storage of both cash and crypto assets, customer-platform relationships, and the application of sanctions and penalties for non-compliance.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="focus-on-blockchain-development">Focus on Blockchain Development</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Beyond regulatory oversight, the draft also includes provisions to strengthen innovation in Blockchain technology. It aims to give the SPK the authority to regulate developers of Blockchain and similar technologies and to introduce a licensing requirement for the distribution of cryptocurrencies associated with these <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">innovations</a>. Additionally, the legislation aims to encourage collaboration with institutions like TÜBİTAK, promoting the growth of software architecture necessary for Blockchain development.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The implementation of this regulation not only promises to strengthen Turkey’s crypto environment but also aims to address concerns expressed by international bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). By adhering to FATF Technical Standard No. 15, Turkey aims to move beyond its current “partially compliant” status and demonstrate its commitment to global <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">financial</a> integrity.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">In the age of digital transformation, the proposed regulation concerning crypto assets could herald a new era for Turkey’s financial sector.</p>
