Türkiye’s crypto asset holdings have climbed to ₺140.8 billion ($3 billion), with about 5.6 million investors having traded through platforms operating in the country, according to newly released market data.
The figures were unveiled as the Central Securities Depository of Türkiye (MKK) began publishing up-to-date data on the country’s crypto market through its Crypto Asset Central Registry System (KVMKS).
As of July 15, about 3.2 million investors had active crypto-asset balances, according to MKK data. Investor portfolios held roughly 1,500 different crypto assets.
During the same period, a total of 53 crypto asset service providers, including seven custody institutions and 46 platforms, had completed their MKK membership procedures, according to the Capital Markets Board’s (CMB) list of active providers.
MKK will automatically update the figures at the close of the market each day and publish them on its Market Data platform the following day, according to the authority's statement.
Türkiye has steadily tightened oversight of its crypto industry, bringing trading platforms and custody providers under a formal regulatory framework after years of rapid growth in digital-asset trading.
The country's main crypto law took effect in July 2024, placing crypto asset service providers under the regulation and supervision of the CMB.
The CMB followed up in March 2025 with two sets of secondary regulations covering the establishment and operation of crypto asset service providers, along with rules on capital adequacy and how they conduct business.
Crypto platforms are also subject to Türkiye's anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing rules. The regulatory framework requires providers to carry out customer identification and transaction monitoring, while information requirements apply to crypto transfers as authorities seek to make transactions more traceable.
