KuCoin TR Submitted SPK Application in Türkiye, Affirming Commitment to Compliance and Local Users

Türkiye's crypto regulatory framework has advanced significantly to balance innovation with investor protection, influenced by economic pressures like the Türkiye Lira's volatility, which has driven widespread adoption as a hedge against inflation. Starting with 2024 amendments to the Capital Markets Law No. 6362, which defined crypto assets and empowered SPK oversight, the landscape evolved with March 2025 secondary regulations—Communiqués III-35/B.1 and III-35/B.2—imposing capital reserves, AML, KYC, and travel rule standards, and asset custody rules while banning high-risk activities like leveraged trading. Transitional periods mandate full licensing by June 2026, with enforcement such as site blocks for unlicensed platforms and 72-hour withdrawal delays, creating a secure environment that channels enthusiasm into regulated channels and attracts institutional investment.

We will keep meeting the needs of users around the world while upholding the highest standards of security and regulatory alignment."
