ALT Türkiye’s crypto asset sector is on the threshold of a new era. Ahead of the authorization process, the debate is no longer only about which platforms will continue operating, but also about how competition will take shape after licensing, how banks will position themselves in the sector, and how crypto platforms will evolve. To view this new era from a global perspective, we sat down with Bybit CEO Ben Zhou. Zhou, who places Türkiye among the world’s top five crypto markets, believes that after licensing, local players will focus more on product capabilities while global platforms will place greater emphasis on localization. With Zhou, who expects cooperation rather than competition to define the relationship between banks and crypto platforms, we discussed the new era spanning Bybit’s ambitions in Türkiye, stablecoins, artificial intelligence and security.
