Turkey plans to adopt blockchain technology for its online public services login. Following the update, residents will be verified by a blockchain-based digital identity when logging in to E-Devlet, the country’s site for a variety of public services.
Locals will also be able to access e-wallet applications using blockchain-based digital identity, according to the country’s vice president, Fuat Oktay. Oktay noted that blockchain will increase the security and usability of online services.
När vicepresidenten talade på Digital Turkey 2023-konferensen, sa vicepresidenten,
Med inloggningssystemet som kommer att fungera inom ramen för e-plånboksapplikationen kommer våra medborgare att kunna gå in i e-Devlet med en digital identitet skapad i blockchain-nätverket.
Turkey has a huge market for digital assets and there is an obvious crypto frenzy in Istanbul. A small number of businesses in the neighborhood of the Grand Bazaar allow people to exchange cash for bitcoin (BTC) or tether (USDT). According to crypto enthusiasts, cryptocurrency in Turkey represents an escape from corporate limits, inflation, and national currency.
According to an estimate carried out by the Turkish crypto exchange Paribu, Turkey has more than 8 million people involved in cryptocurrency. Last year, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized the advantages of blockchain technology while cautioning young people against engaging in crypto gambling. Erdogan claimed that Turkey plans to be a creator in the digital asset world rather than a consumer.
Förra året förbjöd den turkiska centralbanken kryptovaluta som en Betalningssätt, probably in response to the depreciating lira. However, cryptocurrency is mostly unregulated in the country. The government has most likely stayed calm about enforcing a regulation due to its lack of clarity about the industry.
