The cryptocurrency markets are still healing from last week’s decline. At the time of writing, Bitcoin 
$95,965, trading at $66,232, could potentially trigger a rise as the halving event has just passed. Let’s examine which altcoin projects Turkish investors are focusing on, using data from 21milyon.com.
Turkey’s Cryptocurrency Exchanges
According to 21milyon.co, Turkish cryptocurrency exchanges saw over 12 billion Turkish Lira, equivalent to 379 million USD, in trading volume in the last 24 hours. The recent dip in trading volume, coupled with last week’s volatility, indicates a decrease in Turkish investors’ interest in cryptocurrencies.

During this period, Paribu took the second spot with a 33% share, followed by Bitci with 18%, and Bitexen found its place in fourth with 7.5%.
