Article

The FSB urges Turkey to further improve regulation of crypto assets and plans to establish a special regulatory committee for stablecoins.

BlockBeats reports that on November 11, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) released a peer review report on Turkey, noting that Turkey has made substantial progress in recent years in strengthening market regulation, supervision, and examination of crypto assets. However, it still needs to further refine its regulatory framework to align with the FSB’s Global Legal Framework for Crypto-Asset Activities.

The report points out that Turkey has brought most activities in the crypto asset market under regulatory oversight and has introduced registration and licensing requirements for crypto asset service providers (CASPs). At the same time, Turkey has implemented strict asset custody segregation measures and prohibited the use of crypto assets for payments within its territory to limit the transmission of related risks to the payment and banking systems. In addition, Turkish authorities have established a centralized data platform to monitor crypto asset activities.

However, the FSB believes that Turkey still needs to take further measures in the following areas: implementing the financial stability monitoring framework, establishing a special regulatory regime for stablecoins, strengthening regulatory and enforcement efforts, and promoting cross-border regulatory cooperation and information sharing. The report also notes that Turkey has previously completed the construction of its crypto asset regulatory framework, but the regulatory regime for stablecoins remains to be improved. This review aims to encourage Turkey to further implement the relevant recommendations of the FSB’s Global Regulatory Framework.
