Sudan vs Turkey
Crypto regulation comparison
Sudan
Turkey
Restricted
Legal
Sudan has a restrictive financial environment compounded by political instability and historical international sanctions. The central bank has warned against crypto use.
Turkey has one of the highest crypto adoption rates globally, driven by lira depreciation and high inflation. While crypto ownership is legal, the CBRT banned crypto payments in April 2021. In 2024, Turkey passed comprehensive crypto legislation under the Capital Markets Law amendment, giving the CMB authority to license and regulate crypto asset service providers. No crypto-specific tax exists yet, though legislation is under consideration. MASAK (Financial Crimes Investigation Board) oversees AML compliance.
