Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board (SPK) has initiated proceedings to block access to 12 websites that it determined were providing unauthorized crypto asset services to users in the country. The list includes international crypto exchanges such as Toobit and Bit2Me, alongside lesser-known investment platforms.
The SPK announced the decision in its weekly bulletin dated August 5, 2026. The regulator will initiate the necessary legal proceedings under Article 99/A of the Capital Markets Law to restrict access to the platforms.
Toobit and Bit2Me are also on the list
The websites named by the SPK include toobit.com, rainiks.pro, webtrader.ifc-f1nance.online, bit2me.com, app.bit2me.com and coinup.io.
The regulator issued the same decision for neroxinvest.com, alveon-ltd.com, limartu-ledthra.org, goartex.com, parabu.io and coinbalina.com. Bit2Me’s main website and app address were counted separately, bringing the total number of listed web addresses to 12.
Some of the domains appear to belong to investment websites without a widely known corporate identity or a significant user base in Türkiye. However, Toobit and Bit2Me are among the international crypto platforms operating across multiple countries.
The decision does not constitute a fraud finding
The SPK’s decision does not mean that every website on the list has committed fraud. The regulator did not describe the platforms as scams or accuse them of fraudulent activity in its bulletin.
The stated reason for the action is that the platforms allegedly provided crypto asset services to Türkiye-based users without authorization from the SPK. Therefore, lesser-known websites that may appear suspicious can be listed alongside established international exchanges under the same regulatory grounds.
Under Türkiye’s regulations, a foreign platform may be considered to target users in the country if it creates a Turkish-language website, promotes its services directly in Türkiye or conducts marketing activities through Türkiye-based individuals or organizations.
The decision comes as Türkiye tightens its oversight of unauthorized foreign platforms operating in its crypto market. Crypto asset service providers came under the SPK’s supervision in 2024, while secondary regulations introduced in 2025 established detailed requirements covering capital, custody, asset listings and the protection of customer funds.
The latest bulletin indicates that the regulator has begun applying this framework not only to domestic companies but also to foreign platforms targeting users in Türkiye, gradually expanding the scope of its enforcement.
Users should monitor the process closely
The publication of the websites in the bulletin does not mean that access was immediately blocked. At this stage, the SPK has decided to initiate the legal proceedings required to enforce the restrictions.
The accessibility of the platforms, withdrawals and the availability of their mobile applications will now become key issues for account holders. Users may need to review their accounts, open positions and custody arrangements before any potential access restrictions take effect.
