Binance Announces Fiat-to-Crypto Gateway for Turkey in Partnership with Local Partner Papara
Binance CEO unveils the launch of the new Turkish Lira (TRY) fiat gateway and development plans for the Republic of Turkey during a keynote at the Turkish Capital Markets Summit
The leading global cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, today welcomed users and Turkish people to the early launch of its TRY gateway, providing the purchase of cryptocurrency with the local currency directly on its Buy and Sell Crypto platform.
Binance has partnered with Turkey-based Papara, a regulated and secure payments provider, to integrate its banking solution, to allow users to soon purchase BNB, BTC, ETH and XRP with TRY.
The integration will allow users to directly deposit TRY through Papara after a KYC process to buy crypto instantly with their TRY balance from the exchange later this week. Additional functionalities and features will be announced at a later date, including sell functions.
“Turkey is a vibrant country that has illustrated one of the strongest demands and fast-growing interest in crypto,” said CZ (Changpeng Zhao) Binance CEO. “Turkey has quickly adopted crypto in just the last year as the country faced economic uncertainties, which correlates with global economic markets but twice the rate from its neighboring European countries.”
Ahmed Karslı, Chairman of Papara said "The impressive rate of cryptocurrency and blockchain adoption in Turkey reflects the young and dynamic population of the country. We've been serving the Turkish cryptocurrency community since 2017 and we're proud to continue to do so by enabling Turkish Lira deposits and withdrawals on Binance."
