Turkey context
Turkey has one of the highest crypto adoption rates per capita in the OIC, driven partly by lira inflation and a deep retail crypto culture. The Capital Markets Board of Turkey (SPK) has been moving toward formal exchange licensing under the 2024 crypto law, and the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı has historically taken a cautious view, while many independent Turkish scholars distinguish spot ownership from speculative derivatives. Our AAOIFI-aligned framework provides Turkish subscribers a screening layer that local guidance has not yet formalized.
Regulation in Turkey
Primary regulator: Capital Markets Board of Turkey (SPK); MASAK (financial intelligence)
Turkey passed a crypto regulation law in 2024 that brings exchanges under SPK supervision and adds licensing requirements. Personal trading remains permitted.
Diyanet has not issued a sweeping prohibition on spot crypto; individual scholars distinguish spot ownership from leverage products. Our bot is spot-only by design.
Subscription is USD only ($49 / $69 / $99) via DodoPayments and NowPayments. TRY is informational; we do not bill in TRY.
Exchanges that work in Turkey
The bot connects via a read + spot-only API key. Withdrawal permission is never granted. You retain full custody control through your exchange’s standard withdrawal flow. The local options below cover local-money on/off-ramp where applicable; the bot itself runs on global venues.
- Binance
- Bybit
- OKX
- Kraken
Note: pricing and billing are USD only. Your card or wallet handles any FX from local money to USD.
Scholarly framework
Our screening uses an AAOIFI-aligned framework, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Ifta and leading Saudi Islamic banks guidance. For Turkey subscribers, this sits alongside local references:
Local references: Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı (Presidency of Religious Affairs).
In Turkey, the leading public-facing Islamic finance authority is Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı (the Presidency of Religious Affairs), which has expressed caution on crypto in published commentary going back to 2017 — particularly around speculative leverage products — without issuing a categorical prohibition on spot ownership. Independent Turkish scholars have published a range of views, with several distinguishing spot ownership of established digital assets from speculative derivatives. Our AAOIFI-aligned framework references this guidance alongside the Saudi Permanent Committee for Ifta and leading Saudi Islamic banks — providing Turkish subscribers a screening layer where local guidance has not formalized a coin-by-coin verdict.
We do not claim to override local fatwas. Subscribers make their own taqlid choice; our methodology page details every gate and decision rule.
Local payment rails in Turkey
How Turkey users typically fund their exchange account. Informational only — these local rails affect how you fund your exchange wallet, not what we charge. Our subscription is billed in USD via DodoPayments and NowPayments.
- Local bank transfer in Turkish lira to local exchanges (BtcTurk, Paribu) for TL on/off-ramp
- Papara (local fintech wallet)
- Bank transfer to global exchange
- P2P USDT — these are user-side rails for funding the exchange account that our bot trades on. Our service bills in USD via DodoPayments and NowPayments — none of these local rails affect what we charge.
Pricing (USD only)
All tiers are billed in USD via DodoPayments and NOWPayments. Your card converts your local currency to USD at its own FX rate.

Strategy framing
The bot does not scalp. It targets asymmetric multi-X outcomes — minimum 3% in 4 hours, or 5% in 1 hour, or pyramid-target trades — with structural exits, not micro-tick churn. Every trade is a direct spot purchase (T+0 settlement) with no leverage, no perpetuals, no margin.
Per-coin verdicts for Turkey investors
