Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has disclosed significant modifications to its services in Turkey.&nbsp;
Over the next three months, Binance will gradually phase out its Turkish language option on its platform. Concurrently, the exchange will suspend all direct marketing activities targeted at Turkish users at the same time.

These changes which were announced to their users on the exchange’s <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/updates-to-binance-s-services-in-turkey-under-the-new-crypto-regulations-653d43c0083047beab4e1f6efcc48b30?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">website</a> are part of the company’s effort to comply with regulatory requirements.
Despite these changes, Binance has assured its Turkish user base that main features such as deposits and withdrawals will remain operational.
The company further stated that these adjustments are the result of careful monitoring of regulatory developments in Turkey. Binance emphasized its commitment to building a compliant business while working with regulators from different jurisdictions.
However, this development occurs as Binance faces challenges from regulators in several countries. In the U.S.A, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged the exchange with various offenses including acting as an unregistered broker-dealer and misappropriation of customer funds.
Changpeng Zhao, the company’s founder who recently stepped down as CEO, is facing legal repercussions, including a <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/01/binance-founder-cz-sentenced-to-4-months-in-prison/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">four-month jail term</a> for anti-money laundering regulations.
Moreover, Binance’s regulatory challenges are not limited to the United States but also extend to Nigeria where operations have been restricted.
Additionally, one of the exchange’s executives, Tigran Gambaryan, has been <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/14/nigeria-withdraws-tax-charges-against-binance-executives/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">detained for by the Nigerian Government</a> over 4 months weeks on charges of money laundering.
This decision to scale down activities in Turkey might imply that the company will now be more cautious about how it deals with international markets given these regulatory pressures.
