Bitget, which is listed by the CMB among crypto asset trading platforms in the liquidation process, has started publishing Instagram ads. It was determined that the ads were shown as sponsored content through accounts not directly associated with Bitget. While the ads highlight leveraged trading, prediction markets, and high-yield investment products that licensed platforms in Turkey cannot offer, it was observed that users clicking on some ads were redirected to the CoinTR application.
Under Law No. 7518 in Turkey, crypto asset service providers based abroad that do not hold a Capital Markets Board (SPK) license are prohibited from conducting promotional and marketing activities targeting Turkish users. Despite this, Bitget's continued Turkish-language advertising campaigns have drawn attention. Investigations revealed that Bitget's ads were published as sponsored content via Instagram accounts named "Donna Edana mizaro 5228" and "BitTrader," rather than through an official corporate account. It was determined that all ads were prepared in Turkish, directly addressed users in Turkey, and directed them to download the application. The ads included phrases such as earn up to 12% annual returns with USDGO, your earnings processed while you sleep, guess where SPCX shares go, a 6,200 USDT reward opportunity, sign up, earn 200 USDT. Experts note that these contents are not merely brand promotion; they can be considered marketing activities encouraging users to register and invest on the platform.
LEVERAGED TRADING AND PREDICTION MARKETS HIGHLIGHTED In the sponsored contents, not only registration campaigns but also products not offered by licensed platforms in Turkey are highlighted. The ads feature investment products promising 12% annual returns, price prediction contests for SpaceX shares, and rewarded prediction markets aiming to attract users to the platform. Some visuals include content encouraging trading with phrases like "Trade Smart. Earn More." According to experts, such advertising activities targeting Turkish users may be subject to further evaluation under current regulations.
CLICKING ON BITGET ADS LEADS TO COINTR Another striking element in the investigations emerged when clicking on Bitget ads. It was observed that users clicking on the sponsored ads were redirected not to the Bitget application directly, but to the CoinTR application, which operates in Turkey.
This redirection raised questions about whether there is any commercial or technical cooperation between Bitget and CoinTR. While CoinTR is among the platforms operating in Turkey and known for its advertising efforts, it remains unclear why Bitget's unlicensed advertising campaigns redirect to this application.
THE CONNECTION RAISES QUESTIONS Experts state that a global cryptocurrency platform without a license in Turkey, conducting sponsored ads through fake-looking social media accounts to redirect to another crypto platform operating in Turkey, is a situation that requires careful examination. The nature of the possible connection between Bitget and CoinTR, the technical or commercial mechanism through which the redirection occurs, and who finances these ads remain topics of curiosity.
