Mandatory ≥20-character transfer notes to trace transactions
72-hour withdrawal delay for non-compliant platforms
Daily/monthly stablecoin limits, relaxed for licensed platforms
Turkey is introducing a comprehensive suite of crypto regulations aimed at combating money laundering. The most notable change is a requirement for transfer notes of at least 20 characters, providing a clearer audit trail for transactions. This measure is designed to make it significantly harder for illicit transfers to go unnoticed.
Withdrawal Delays for Compliance
To ensure platforms follow anti-money laundering (AML) guidelines, Turkey will impose a minimum 72-hour withdrawal delay on any platform found to be non-compliant. This cooling-off period gives authorities extra time to review suspicious transactions and potentially prevent illicit outflows of digital assets.
Stablecoin Limits and Licensing Incentives
To curb excessive use of stablecoins without giving crypto platforms a disadvantage, Turkey is setting stablecoin limits of $3,000 per day and $50,000 per month. However, platforms that obtain proper licensing from Turkish regulators can benefit from relaxed limits, encouraging compliance and formal registration within the country’s financial system.
Turkey will impose new crypto regulations to curb money laundering, including mandatory transfer notes (≥20 characters), delayed withdrawals (min. 72 hours) for non-compliant platforms, and stablecoin limits of $3,000/day and $50,000/month. Licensed platforms may get relaxed…
