According to the data shared by the crypto money exchange BtcTurk, the daily average transaction volume has increased approximately 5 times and reached ₺ 3 billion In the last 24 hours. Ozgur Guneri, CEO of BtcTurk said:
‘’ The facts that Bitcoin, the world’s first crypto currency, cannot be controlled, censored, does not play with monetary policy, and has a transparent but highly reliable blockchain infrastructure make the Bitcoin more powerful. Bitcoin, whose circulation speed and quantity are limited due to these features, is seen by some investors as a new asset class that they can create diversification in their portfolios.’’
Noting that Bitcoin increased by 250 percent in Turkish lira and 150 percent in dollar in 2020, Guneri continued:
“Bitcoin strongly developed in 2020, as we expected. The value proposition offered by Bitcoin, which is very suitable for the rapid change in financial, political and social conditions all over the world, is understood by much wider individual and institutional audiences, albeit for different reasons. With its halving, the expectations for 2021 continue to remain strong with the effect of factors such as the increase in bitcoin adaptation and the continuation of high liquidity in the financial markets. Accordingly, our transaction volume in the last 24 hours reached ₺ 3 billion, approximately 5 times our daily average.’’
Underlining that Bitcoin has turned into an investment form that can be used by average citizens who want to protect themselves from this financial and social instability, Guneri said:
“The fact that the assets can be protected with the highest technology and that this is done within the framework of privacy and security principles will provide great convenience to people. As a global player serving over 1 million users in the world of cryptocurrency on 7 continents, we are proud to be its intermediary. I believe that 2021 will be very positive for both BtcTurk and the global sector in terms of data such as transaction volume, number of users, individuals and institutions entering the sector. In this context, I think we will see that Bitcoin adaptation increases even faster and this is reflected in the price.’’
