The launch marks Polymarket’s latest international expansion even though it is <a href="https://coingape.com/polymarket-faces-broad-cftc-probe-amid-fake-bets-allegations/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">facing CFTC probe for fake bets</a> in the United States.
It also comes as it continues to face new competition such as<a href="https://coingape.com/meta-develops-prediction-markets-app-arena-to-challenge-polymarket-and-kalshi/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Meta announcing its own prediction market app development.</a>
<h3 id="why-is-polymarket-expanding-in-turkey">Why is Polymarket Expanding in Turkey</h3>
For Polymarket, Turkey could represent one of the world’s fastest-growing digital asset markets.
Paribu serves around 7 million users, lists more than 220 cryptocurrencies, and has recorded daily spot trading volumes exceeding $100 million. This make Paribu one of Turkey’s largest crypto exchanges.
The company says
Polymarket’s expansion also comes at a time when Türkiye has emerged as one of the world’s most active crypto markets. According to Chainalysis, the country processed nearly $200 billion in cryptocurrency transactions in 2025. The adoption has been fueled by persistent inflation and the weakening Turkish lira
Further, according to TRM Labs, the country has recorded approximately $40 billion in crypto trading volume during the first quarter of 2026, despite an 11% decline in global retail crypto activity over the same period.
The expansion also reflects Polymarket’s broader international strategy of partnering with established exchanges instead of relying solely on its standalone platform. Thus, by integrating into Paribu’s existing infrastructure, Polymarket gains immediate access to millions of users in a new market.
