Binance, the world's biggest crypto exchange, is taking steps to expand into Turkey, an up-and-coming cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Cointelegraph, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao<\/a> said the company is establishing a team of a dozen full-time employees in the country.<\/p>\n

Zhao said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Other than that we really want to invest in Turkey heavily. We also want to increase our team members somewhere between 10-20 people in the next 3 to 6 months. And if you\u2019re looking for a job in the cryptocurrency industry please say hi to us.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Coinhills, the Turkish lira is the fifth most traded national currencies for Bitcoin, just behind USD, JPY, EUR, and KRW.<\/p>\n

Why Turkey?<\/h2>\n

During the interview, Zhao emphasized that the Turkish crypto community has a “high degree of understanding of blockchain,” adding that the local crypto community is very enthusiastic.<\/p>\n

The enthusiasm is reflected by the volume of the local market, which has surpassed major regions like the U.K.<\/a>, Canada<\/a>, and Singapore<\/a> \u2014 all countries that have implemented better infrastructure earlier on.<\/p>\n

The Statista Global Consumer Survey released in June 2019 also showed that Turkey<\/a> had the highest number of respondents stating that they used or owned cryptocurrencies at some point.<\/p>\n

Turkey has a high level of adoption for crypto assets (Source: Statista)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For exchanges, especially for major trading platforms, it is a priority to identify a rapidly growing market and to focus on establishing a strong infrastructure in it to expand their reach.<\/p>\n

Binance<\/a>, for instance, has implemented the approach of expanding globally from one country to another<\/a> since its inception, rather than trying to exclusively and dominantly target one market.<\/p>\n

Does Turkey stand a chance against front runners?<\/h2>\n

Evolved crypto markets like Japan<\/a> and South Korea<\/a> have already laid solid regulatory frameworks to provide clarity to both exchanges and investors to a large extent.<\/p>\n

Although the Turkish government has not taken a negative stance towards crypto assets, it also has not introduced clear policies to govern exchanges and oversee the local market.<\/p>\n

Data suggests that a growing number of companies are actively working to expand into Turkey<\/a>. But, for medium to long-term growth, it is critical that core areas of crypto regulation are addressed to create a more productive and efficient environment for businesses.<\/p>\n

As major markets generally move towards complying with the standards of cryptocurrency regulation drafted<\/a> by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) \u2014 a watchdog of the G7 \u2014 Turkey and other growing markets are expected to provide some form of regulatory clarity around crypto assets in the future.<\/p>\n

Istanbul Blockchain Week<\/h2>\n
