So far, there have been no official statements from either side to bring clarity to the issue associated with digital assets.
However, immediately after the official meeting of the heads of state, the rumors started circulating all over social media, especially on Twitter. Many accounts started posting tweets that BTC will become a legal tender in Turkey in February 2022. The fake profiles have been blocked for spreading false news.
What events preceded it? Earlier, Turkey’s president announced that a cryptocurrency law is ready to be debated in parliament. Erdoğan revealed this at a press conference, adding that the new law will aim to create conditions for the official use of virtual assets. The experts expect the document to completely revise the country’s current cryptocurrency policy.
