Global cryptocurrency exchange Bitget continues its promotional activities targeting Turkish users. Campaign and advertisement shares are carried out through crypto influencers and Turkish accounts. Activities in Turkey have been restricted for platforms without SPK licenses.
Global cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has been observed continuing its promotional activities targeting Turkish users on social media. Investigations have revealed that the platform is not only using crypto influencers but also Turkish-language accounts like Bitget Wallet Turkey and Bitget Global Turkey Community to share campaigns and advertisements. Experts note that under Law No. 7518, marketing activities of offshore platforms directed at Turkey may also fall under sanctions. Here are the details...
With the new regulations coming into effect in Turkey, the activities of crypto asset service providers without a Capital Markets Board (SPK) license targeting Turkish users have been significantly restricted. Under the regulations, not only the platforms themselves but also individuals and organizations promoting these platforms may face legal liability.
Promotions via crypto influencers continue
While many global cryptocurrency exchanges have previously terminated their affiliate and referral programs for Turkey, Bitget is seen continuing its promotional activities through crypto influencers on social media. Investigations have shown that various influencer accounts continue to share Bitget campaigns, registration links, and platform advantages. Experts state that affiliate links or promotional content directing users on behalf of the platform may have legal consequences for both the platform and those sharing the content under current regulations.
Accounts linked to Bitget Global
One of the prominent accounts in Bitget's Turkish promotional activities is the Bitget Global Turkey Community. The account's profile description includes the phrase "unofficial community account." However, it appears that the account is listed among Bitget Global's associated accounts on the social media platform. Investigations have determined that campaigns, reward programs, listing announcements, and various promotional content prepared by Bitget Global are regularly shared in Turkish through this account. Experts note that an account describing itself as an "unofficial community" does not alone eliminate legal liability; the actual use of the account, its relationship with the platform, and the promotional activities it conducts must be evaluated together.

Sanction risk on the agenda
Experts highlight that influencers promoting unauthorized crypto asset service providers, as well as individuals or entities acting as intermediaries for marketing activities, may also face sanctions. The same assessments note that many posts made under the guise of "my personal experience" may effectively constitute advertising, and affiliate systems could lead to conflicts of interest. How Bitget's influencer collaborations and Turkish-language promotional activities conducted through the Bitget Global Turkey Community will be evaluated under current regulations remains a closely followed topic in the coming period.
