The Ministry of Treasury and Finance has pushed the button on Cryptocurrencies! Mehmet Şimşek announced what will happen!

While many steps have been taken in Turkey regarding the regulation of the cryptocurrency sector, another move has just come.

At this point, Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek stated that new steps have been taken to prevent the laundering of proceeds from illegal betting and fraud through cryptocurrency asset transactions.

According to AA, the Ministry of Treasury and Finance will implement a regulatory package to increase transparency and oversight in transactions made through Cryptocurrency Service Providers (KVHS).

In this context, time limits, transfer limits, and strict identity checks are increasing the traceability of criminal proceeds.

The news stated that cryptocurrency asset platforms should disclose information regarding the source and purpose of the funds and other assets involved in the transactions they facilitate.

In this context, it has been stated that a transaction description of at least 20 characters must be obtained from the customer performing the transaction in all crypto currency transfer operations.

With the new regulations, the rapid withdrawal of cryptocurrencies subject to transactions will be prevented.

At this point, it is planned to impose a time limit for cryptocurrency withdrawal transactions where travel rules do not apply. In this context, cryptocurrency withdrawals can only be made 48 hours after purchase, exchange, or deposit transactions. For the first withdrawal transactions from the account, this period will be at least 72 hours.

It was stated that a daily limit would be imposed on stablecoin transfers, and that this would be a restriction of 3 thousand and 50 thousand dollars monthly.

The Minister of Treasury and Finance, Mehmet Şimşek, stated that these restrictions would ensure additional supervision and control over exchanges to prevent the laundering of criminal proceeds through cryptocurrencies.

Şimşek also added that no restrictions were imposed on the legitimate area.
