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.

Ukraine passed the 'On Virtual Assets' law in 2022, establishing a legal framework for crypto. The NSSMC is designated as the primary regulator for virtual assets. Crypto gained significance during the Russia-Ukraine war, with Ukraine receiving over $100 million in crypto donations. Tax rules specify 18% income tax plus 1.5% military levy on crypto gains. Full implementation of the regulatory framework has been delayed due to the ongoing conflict.
