Bitcoin and altcoins experienced significant rises in February, leaving many curious about their performance in March. The Turkish cryptocurrency investor base is approximately 10 million strong. I have compiled the most purchased altcoin projects by these investors according to data from 21milyon.com. Let’s take a closer look at the details.
Which Altcoins Do Turks Buy the Most?
Firstly, I would like to share with you the 24-hour trading volume data from 21milyon.com. In the last 24 hours, Turkish traders have created a trading volume of 907 million 645 thousand 326 dollars on local cryptocurrency exchanges.
The TL equivalent of the trading volume is 28 billion 461 million 34 thousand 518. This figure is noteworthy as it indicates the high daily trading volume of cryptocurrency investors in our country. It is also interesting as it shows the approach towards cryptocurrencies as a means of income and value preservation.
