Protecting Investors Through New Rules
The institution, which has taken significant steps towards regulating exchanges, has also made numerous improvements regarding compliance. Important rules have been introduced to protect investors, including the separation of customer assets from exchange reserves and restrictions on taking positions against customers.
“We are taking steps to implement secondary regulations related to cryptocurrencies very soon.”
With the completion of these regulations, on-site inspection activities will begin, and the authorization process will be completed. Considering that the volume in local exchanges has exceeded 50 billion TL on some days, the significance of such steps for investors becomes clearer.
