How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Turkey

Buying cryptocurrency in Turkey

Buying cryptocurrency in Turkey Naci Agbal, the Central Bank�s chief, announced the bank�s intentions of adopting a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in 2020. He added that Turkey will begin pilot testing in 2021. This isn�t surprising news, having in mind that Turkey has been considering the adoption of a national cryptocurrency and researching its possibilities since 2019. The development of a CBDC comes as a result of the central bank�s struggle with high inflation and rise in consumer prices. Concerns regarding cash payments and measures like social distancing during the pandemic only seem to promote the transition towards virtual currencies, giving momentum for the CBDC adoption. What�s more, Turkey�s population is very interested in cryptocurrencies. 20% of the population have, at some point in their lives, owned some form of cryptocurrency. Almost half of Turkey�s population intend to use cryptocurrencies should paper money decline over time, which is very likely considering the circumstances.
