The Turkish Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance, led by Mehmet Simschek, have announced a series of tough new measures aimed at curbing money laundering and strengthening surveillance of digital asset transactions.
According to a June 25, 2025 announcement, “The Ministry is preparing to take additional measures and calls for strict control and supervision of transactions implemented by Crypto Asset Service Providers (CSAS).”
In particular, the latest regulatory push comes amid the surge in crypto adoption, driven by the sharp depreciation of Turkish lira (nearly 20% of last year’s value), which is growing beyond illegal financial activities in the digital assets sector.
Turkey’s latest crypto “reform” requires 20-character transfer memos, imposes a 48-72 hour break-down delay, limiting the use of stable.
Innovation does not thrive under high-surveillance microcontrollers.
🔍Surveying is necessary, but choking liquidity is not a regulation.

According to the rules, all crypto transactions in Turkey must contain a minimum of 20 characters of a transfer note. Platforms that do not comply with the new rules will make it a fact of a mandatory 72-hour delay for all user withdrawals.
Additionally, new daily and monthly limits are imposed on Stablecoin transactions, limiting users to $3,000 per day and $50,000 per month.
