Starting February 25, 2025, Turkey is tightening its grip on cryptocurrency transactions.
The new crypto regulations are designed to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.
Turkey Requires ID for Crypto Transactions Over $425
Under the new rules, users who conduct transactions exceeding $425 will be required. They want to provide full personal identification information. The idea is to ensure greater transparency and traceability in the crypto space.
The regulation extends beyond individual transactions to include unregistered wallet addresses. crypto exchanges operating in Turkey will now be required to collect and verify complete personal information. This will be before processing any transactions. This is even for those made through wallets that are not officially registered. This move is part of Turkey’s efforts to strengthen financial monitoring and curb illicit activities in crypto.

If users fail to provide sufficient identification details, the system will flag transactions as “risky” and may temporarily suspend them. This can cause a potential disruption to users’ ability to trade and transfer assets. This precautionary measure aims to prevent illegal use of crypto transactions. It also provides authorities with the tools to trace the movement of funds across digital platforms.
