Crypto exchanges have suspended their activities in this country. However, authorities later announced that the ban was temporary and would soon be lifted. Operations with digital assets will become available to citizens and companies after the legalization of the cryptosphere.
As Sabah clarifies, already in October 2021, the Turkish government will present a bill on regulating relations in the industry. The document will be submitted to parliament for consideration.
