According to the Al-Monitor report, the deputy chairman of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party and the former Industry Minister of the country, Ahmet Kenan Tanrikulu, has prepared a report proposing the creation of a cryptocurrency supported by the state called “Turkcoin”. The report said that such a basket of assets would include large public companies in the country's wealth fund, such as Turkish Airlines, Istanbul Stock Exchange and Turk Telekom.
Elsewhere in the report, the legislator called for a more precise regulation of the cryptocurrency in an attempt to control the market. He argues that the lack of a legal basis for Turkey's cryptocurrency could lead to illegal use. |
