The meaning of cryptocurrency in Turkey
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency, a form of payment without using cash. It is also known as an electronic cash system which uses the Bitcoin, the first decentralized cryptocurrency that appeared in 2009 and patented by Satoshi Nakamoto, a Japanese developer. Turkey also adopted this virtual currency but on a low scale, which is why entrepreneurs should search this field and develop its potential. Foreign or local businessmen interested in opening a cryptocurrency company in Turkey must register the firm with the Trade Register, a matter where our Turkish lawyers can help with drafting the documents. It is good to know that even if the cryptocurrency represents a legal form of payment, Turkey does not agree with this type of reimbursement.
Who can use cryptocurrency in Turkey?
The Bitcoin payment services can be adopted by e-commerce businesses or by retail companies with establishments in Turkey. Even bars or restaurants in Turkey have the possibility of adopting the Bitcoin as a legal type of payment. One should know that every Bitcoin trade in Turkey is subject to a particular fee, which is why all terms and conditions should be understood as soon as you decide for this kind of business in Turkey.
Main steps when setting up a cryptocurrency company in Turkey
