Risks, regulations, and future directions of Turkey’s cryptocurrency ecosystem

Abstract

Blockchain technology, originating from the Bitcoin system, is a prominent notion in both practical applications and scholarly discourse. Numerous subtopics may be seen, including the definition of blockchain, its historical significance in the evolution of currency, its durability, and its magnitude of influence within the literature. In other words, sufficient study on blockchain exists in the literature. Likewise, several studies exist about auditing, particularly concerning accounting and taxation within the setting of the Turkish economy. An examination of official declarations and legislation in Turkey reveals that the state's view on the bitcoin industry lacks definiteness. The perspectives are transitioning from negative to positive. Nevertheless, contradicting remarks have also been seen. Upon assessing the existing circumstances, the strategic plans of nations with comparable developmental stages and active cryptocurrency markets are identified. The most appropriate stance for Turkey is neither entirely liberal nor entirely restrictive. The market requires active management and oversight. This control includes accounting and taxation. Turkey should transition from a passive observation approach to one that incorporates a definitive hybrid therapy. This hybrid encryption encompasses the fundamental components of the cryptocurrency system and the corresponding regulation of pertinent regulations.
