These decisions could impact on the interaction of Turkish users with the Binance platform but the exchange believes that they are next necessary steps it has to take.

Binance noted that it has closely monitored the regulatory development in Turkey. The company highlighted its commitment to collaborating with regulators across several jurisdictions. It noted that its aim is to support a compliant business environment for users.
Binance Facing Regulatory Challenges
Like Coinbase, Binance has put in effort into persuading U.S. regulators to set up a robust regulatory framework for the region. The firm is one of the victims of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) crackdown on cryptocurrency exchanges in 2023. It was indicted by the regulator for a couple of charges including operating in the region as an unregistered broker. It was also accused of commingling company and customer assets, misuse of customer funds, and possible market manipulation of native tokens.
Its founder, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, who stepped down from his position as CEO of the exchange last year, is currently facing a four-month jail term. He was accused of leading the exchange to violate Anti-money Laundering (AML) rules and he plead guilty to the charge. Binance is equally facing challenges in Nigeria with two of its executives caught between the authorities in the West African nation. Till now, its services is currently restricted in Nigeria.
Though the exchange claims to have made this changes to its Turkish platform after careful monitoring, this move could mark the firm’s gradual exit from the region.
