ISTANBUL (MarketsXplora) – Cryptocurrency exchange OKX on Tuesday launched its dedicated Turkish platform OKX TR, allowing users to trade major coins against the lira as the country emerges as a hotspot for crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi).
The Turkish arm offers localized features including lira deposits and withdrawals via partnerships with banks like VakıfBank and Şekerbank, along with Turkish and English customer support.
OKX is rolling out the new exchange after setting up a local office last year, with plans to grow in the market where nearly 50% already use cryptocurrencies based on adoption data.
“With a crypto adoption rate close to 50%, Türkiye represents a very dynamic and promising market for the industry as it continues to develop,” said OKX President Hong Fang, citing strong engagement.
The exchange lets users trade USD Tether – a major stablecoin – Bitcoin and Ether against the Turkish lira.
OKX TR Chairman Mehmet Çamır also backed Turkey to be a nexus for development around blockchain-based decentralized finance.
“Already a global leader in crypto trading, Türkiye is also in a prime position to grow in the decentralized finance space. We’re excited to support this development,” he said.
