FinTech and Digital Assets Law

We provide comprehensive legal advisory for crypto exchanges, proprietary trading firms and digital asset investment companies within Turkey's evolving regulatory framework. From SPK licensing to MASAK compliance, token law to international structuring, we are with you at every step.

Crypto Asset Regulation in Turkey

With amendments to the Capital Markets Law, crypto asset service providers (CASP) in Turkey are now subject to SPK oversight and must obtain a licence. This process covers the preparation of the application file, establishing the technical and legal infrastructure, and implementing a MASAK compliance programme.
