To be precise, the crypto exchange made a strategic partnership with Misyon Bank, a platform that aims to provide a secure transaction experience in the crypto world with its innovative solutions and reliable infrastructure.

Thanks to this latest collaboration, Misyon Bank will be able to connect with individual investors across Europe through WhiteBIT TR— its third major initiative of the latter in the digital assets space, following two global partnerships.

Details about this partnership

The agreement terms between MisyonTech, the financial technology and digital asset subsidiary of Misyon Bank, and WhiteBIT TR revealed that the latter will provide liquidity for major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC, USDT, and Avalanche (AVAX), on Turkey’s first bank-secured crypto asset platform, which also features advanced tokenization capabilities.

The Capital Markets Board’s Crypto Asset Service Providers List lists Misyon Bank as the first Turkish institution authorized to provide both custody and platform services in the cryptocurrency space. This was highlighted by Emre Yetişkin, Chairman of the Board of WhiteBIT TR, during the signing ceremony.

Yetişkin said, “Turkey, as a regional leader in the crypto asset sector, also dominates stable cryptocurrency trading volumes in the region. We commend the progress Misyon Bank has made as a pioneer in Turkey’s digital asset space, aligning with global trends while showcasing a forward-thinking regional vision.”  He further mentioned that they are proud to contribute to Misyon Bank’s journey as it advances toward its ambitious goals.

Notably, WhiteBIT TR offers more than 330 digital assets and 440 trading pairs to users. In just six months, it reached over 100,000 users in Turkey, where they have been operating since 2022 with a 100% compliance assurance.

Questions on digital asset regulation in Turkey answered

Additionally, Muhammet Cerit, CEO of MisyonTech,  mentioned that the agreement they signed today with WhiteBIT TR is the first stage of their goal to reach individual investors in Europe. Cerit also responded to questions regarding Turkish laws governing digital assets during the signing ceremony.

He mentioned, “The initial regulations on digital assets in our country have strengthened Turkey’s position as a regional investment hub. We expect the completion of secondary regulations in the first month of 2025, which will also renew crypto investors’ confidence in the market. In this context, our platform is ready to meet the growing supply of crypto assets, both for custody and trading operations.”
