Власти Турции готовят законопроект, который предоставит финансовой разведке Masak право замораживать аккаунты и счета на криптовалютных сервисах в рамках борьбы с отмыванием денег, сообщило издание Bloomberg.
Министерство финансов Турции собирается ужесточить надзор за поставщиками услуг виртуальных активов и криптовалютными транзакциями. Чиновники объясняют ужесточение борьбой с мошенничеством и отмыванием незаконно полученных средств.
Турецкий парламент принял законопроект, устанавливающий строгие правила для обращения с криптовалютами в стране. Документ, принятый 12 ноября 2024 года, призван урегулировать быстрорастущий рынок криптовалют и обеспечить его соответствие международным стандартам.
В стремительно меняющемся ландшафте цифровых финансов появление криптоактивов создало беспрецедентные проблемы и возможности для регулирующих органов, которые предоставляют упреждающие рамки по всему миру.
Earlier this month, global financial crimes watchdog FATF urged G-7 economies like Japan to lead by example to implement its controversial "travel rule" for crypto transfers.
The Financial Action Task Force has said it does "not require countries to indiscriminately ban virtual assets and virtual asset service providers," after Pakistan's Minister of State for Finance and Revenue said crypto cannot be legalized due to conditions set by the watchdog.
Meeting international Anti-Money Laundering standards is the latest in a series of measures Japan has taken in recent months to improve its cryptocurrency regulation.
