Vebitcoin crypto exchange based in the southwestern city of Mugla, Turkey, has gone offline. The company’s website<\/a> home page refers to recent developments that have forced them to cease trading.<\/p>\n

Crypto Safety Now Firmly in The Spotlight<\/h2>\n

Vebitcoin<\/a> was founded in August 2017 and provided a small number of crypto to Lira trading pairs. BTCTRY accounts for more than half of its volume and no crypto to crypto pairs are offered.<\/p>\n

The latest 24-hour volume shows $58 million traded, making it relatively small in market share. Following his arrest, Bas told police that the platform has 90,000 registered users.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Thodex<\/a> crypto exchange collapsed with authorities looking to trace its CEO Faruk Fatih Ozer. The platform denies any wrongdoing and issued a statement saying its website is down due to striking a deal with outside investors.<\/p>\n

A search is currently underway for Ozer, who may have fled to Albania or Thailand. Thodex<\/a> has 390,000 active users, and it’s believed Ozer may have taken $2 billion of user funds.<\/p>\n

Turkey was experiencing a crypto boom off the back of worsening economic conditions in the country. With inflation hitting 16% last month and the continued weakness of the Turkish lira, many had turned to crypto as a way to protect themselves.<\/p>\n

But with the collapse of Vebitcoin and Thodex in quick succession, the reputation of cryptocurrency in the country has taken a hit. Orkun Godek, the Head of Research at Deniz Investment, said tighter regulation is needed following the collapses.<\/p>\n

Turkish Central Bank Rules Out Ban<\/h2>\n

Turkey had already issued an order to ban<\/a> cryptocurrencies for payment for goods and services. A statement from the central bank read:<\/p>\n

“neither subject to any regulation and supervision mechanisms nor a central regulatory authority. Their market values can be excessively volatile.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Following Vebitcoin’s collapse, many feared the central bank would take the opportunity to impose even harsher restrictions. Governor \u015eahap Kavac\u0131o\u011flu<\/a> told state television channel TRT that regulations are coming, but there will be no outright ban.<\/p>\n
