Turkey Bans PancakeSwap Along With 45 Other Crypto Sites

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-07-04Última atualização em 2025-07-04

Turkey’s financial regulator, the Capital Markets Board (CMB), announced it had blocked 46 websites, including the popular decentralized exchange PancakeSwap. CMB blocked them from providing unauthorized crypto asset services to Turkish residents.

PancakeSwap is one of the world’s top decentralized exchanges, with over $325 billion in trading volume in June. Another affected platform is Cryptoradar. The CMB used the Capital Markets Law to justify the ban, although it’s unclear how it determined these platforms were offering services directly to Turkish users.

Turkey has been gradually increasing control over the crypto space. Since March 2025, the CMB has had full authority to regulate crypto service providers. In addition, since February, anyone making crypto transactions worth $425 or more must provide identification details. While Turks can still buy, hold, and trade cryptocurrencies, using them as a form of payment has been banned since 2021.

Additionally, Turkey is going a step further. The Ministry of Treasury and Finance, led by Mehmet Şimşek, is preparing strict new rules to combat money laundering and improve oversight. The new rules will require users to include a 20-character note with every crypto transfer.

Regulators in several countries have blocked crypto websites, saying they were unregistered or involved in illegal activities. Governments in Kazakhstan, Venezuela, the Philippines, Russia, and others have taken similar actions in the past.

Ethereum whales add $850mln in 2 days as ETH stalls – Here’s why!

While Ethereum's price has remained relatively flat, trading around $2,940 and struggling below key resistance levels, large holders (whales) have significantly increased their holdings. According to Santiment data, these whales added nearly 300,000 ETH (worth approximately $850 million) over a few days, bringing their total holdings from about 100.48 million to 100.8 million ETH. This accumulation occurred during a low-volatility phase, suggesting confidence in Ethereum's long-term prospects rather than short-term price movements. Meanwhile, Ethereum's underlying on-chain economy continues to expand robustly. The Total Value Locked (TVL) stands at $330.7 billion, with a fully diluted market cap of around $353.2 billion, resulting in a valuation multiple of about 1.1x. This indicates that ETH's price is closely aligned with the growing ecosystem of DeFi, stablecoins, and real-world assets (RWAs) built on the network, which reinforces demand for ETH and limits downside pressure. Despite the steady economic growth, technical indicators show hesitation among traders. The RSI reflects weak bullish momentum, and the MACD suggests fading upside pressure. For a significant price move to occur, a resurgence in trading volume and market acceleration is likely needed. Ultimately, whale accumulation during consolidation phases, combined with a strong on-chain economy, points to potential preparation for a larger market move ahead.

Why Bitcoin Is Struggling Under Trump’s New Regime: Analyst

Despite initial expectations, Bitcoin's performance under President Trump's second term has been mixed. While reaching a new all-time high after his January inauguration, the market has largely consolidated with a bearish undertone. Analysis from XWIN Research Japan highlights key differences from the post-2016 election rally. Unlike 2016’s low-inflation, low-rate environment that fueled a sustained bull run, 2025 began with high interest rates and tighter financial conditions. Bitcoin’s larger market size and broader investor base have also reduced the immediate impact of political events on price. The Bitcoin SOPR Ratio (LTH-SOPR/STH-SOPR) further indicates caution: long-term holders are taking limited profits, while short-term holders are selling at a loss. This typically signals an extended period of supply-demand adjustment. Although downside may be limited if long-term holder dominance continues, significant upside appears constrained. A recovery would require steady ETF inflows and reduced selling by long-term holders. Until then, Bitcoin may remain stagnant or decline further. Currently, BTC is trading around $87,623.

Uniswap’s $591mln burn sparks a deflation loop – UNI at $7.2 ONLY IF…

Uniswap's community overwhelmingly approved a proposal to burn 100 million UNI tokens, worth approximately $591 million, from its treasury. This deflationary measure will use future protocol fees to conduct ongoing token burns, creating a deflationary loop aimed at reducing supply and potentially increasing the token's value. Following the burn, UNI's price surged 5.2% to $6.3, with trading volume rising 52% to $297 million. Key indicators, including moving averages and momentum, turned bullish. If buying pressure continues, UNI could target $7.2; however, a loss of momentum might lead to a retracement to $5.7.

Crypto hacks surge to $3.4B! OKX CEO flags THIS as a key threat

Crypto hacks surged to $3.4 billion in 2025, with North Korean hackers responsible for over $2 billion of the losses. Recent victims include DeBot, which lost $255,000, and Trust Wallet, which lost $7 million. OKX CEO Star Xu identified DEX bots and custodial wallets as major new risk factors, noting that many require users to store private keys in the cloud. He emphasized that security and usability can coexist through institutional-grade controls and local authentication like passkeys. The report highlights a significant rise in personal wallet compromises and social engineering attacks, urging users to exercise increased vigilance and adopt stronger security practices.

Bitcoin's Post-Halving Supply Change Is Permanently Locked by Mathematical Rules

The fourth Bitcoin halving occurred on April 20, 2024, at block height 840,000, reducing the block reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. This event, programmed into Bitcoin’s protocol and triggered automatically every 210,000 blocks, reinforces its deterministic and transparent monetary policy. Post-halving, daily Bitcoin issuance dropped by approximately 50%, from about 900 BTC to 450 BTC, with annualized issuance falling to around 164,250 BTC. This reduced Bitcoin’s annual supply inflation rate to roughly 0.83%, lower than gold's estimated 1–2% growth and contrasting sharply with central bank-controlled fiat systems. By the end of 2024, approximately 19.7 million BTC were in circulation, leaving fewer than 1.3 million left to be mined. Over 93.8% of the total supply has already been issued. The halving also shifted miner economics, significantly increasing the proportion of transaction fees in their total revenue. This aligns with Bitcoin’s long-term design, where security gradually transitions from block subsidies to fee-based incentives. Unlike traditional monetary systems, Bitcoin’s supply schedule is fixed, irreversible, and independent of market conditions. The next halving, expected around 2028, will further reduce the block reward to 1.5625 BTC. With the latest halving complete, Bitcoin’s low issuance rate is no longer a short-term event but a permanent baseline feature—verifiable, predictable, and enforced by code and consensus.
