The need for Turkey’s Crytpo Law

Amid the increasing inflation rates, which rose to 21.3 per cent in November, a percentage of the general public is increasingly moving towards cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are now enjoying increased popularity in the nation.
This move, experts claim, is a way of bypassing the Turkish Lira’s astounding fall against the US Dollar.
The president and the administration are planning to bring the country’s economy back on track. The crypto law is a part of the series of measures economic that the nation’s administration has planned. The goal, being, the strengthening of Turkey’s economy that is currently spiralling downwards.
Turkey’s Unstable Disposition Towards Cryptocurrencies
In April this year, the Central Bank of Turkey banned the use of cryptocurrencies for any sort of payment. This move entered Turkey into the list of nations such as China that have partially or totally banned crypto transactions. This prohibition against cryptos led to the price of Bitcoin falling by a significant margin.
However, the announcement also declared cryptocurrencies as a digital asset. This means implies that it is legal to own cryptocurrencies in Turkey.
