Commenting on the move, Peter Smith, co-founder and CEO of the platform, said: “Turkey is one of the countries leading the charge to embrace Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies By using cryptography, virtual currencies, known as cryptocurrencies, are nearly counterfeit-proof digital currencies that are built on blockchain technology.

Entrance to the middle-east
This came at a time when the strength of Turkish lira is on a slump compared to the US dollar, creating more demand for digital currencies in the country.
Despite being one of the most widely used Bitcoin wallet platforms, Blockchain.com launched its digital asset exchange last August. Apart from Turkish lira, the platform already supports three other fiats - US dollar, British pound, and euro.
Similar to Blockchain.com, many other major market players also penetrated into the Turkish market. Last year, Huobi entered the country with a local office and also announced a fiat gateway for Turkish traders - the plan, however, is still pending.
Binance also expanded its services in Turkey with the launch of lira-based crypto trading services on its platform.
Meanwhile, Blockchain.com also jumped into the crypto lending business, targeting institutions, Finance Magnates reported earlier.
