What to know:
- Turkey's ruling AK Party has introduced a bill to formalize crypto taxation, revising tax and spending rules, and creating a new framework for cryptocurrencies.
- The bill proposes a 10% tax on gains from regulated crypto platforms, withheld quarterly, with the president having the power to adjust the rate between 0% and 20%.
- The bill also introduces a 0.03% transaction tax on service providers facilitating crypto transactions, and requires investors trading outside licensed platforms to declare gains annually.
Turkey’s ruling AK Party has introduced a sweeping economic bill in parliament that would formalize crypto taxation while revising a range of tax and spending rules.
The draft, now before the Turkish Grand National Assembly, would amend the Income Tax Law and Expenditure Taxes Law to create a new framework for cryptocurrencies, the country’s state news agency Anadolu Ajansı reports.
Crypto platforms regulated under the country’s Capital Markets Law would withhold a 10% tax on gains each quarter, regardless of whether the investor is an individual or company, resident or non-resident.
Service providers would also pay a 0.03% transaction tax on the sale amount or market value of crypto assets they broker.
Crypto brokers and other intermediaries would be on the hook for tax checks based on the records they keep. If a user provides wrong or incomplete information, tax authorities would pursue that person for any shortfall, the news outlet writes.
The bill also makes clear that key terms such as “crypto asset,” “wallet,” and “platform” carry the same meaning as in Turkey’s Capital Markets Law, tying the tax regime to existing financial rules.
The country’s president would also have the power to lower the 10% withholding tax to 0% or raise it to 20%, depending on the type of token, how long it was held, who issued it, or the type of wallet used.
The bill exempts crypto deliveries subject to the transaction tax from value-added tax (VAT) and excludes foundation university hospitals from corporate tax exemptions starting in 2027.
The crypto provisions would take effect two months after publication if approved.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO
The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark.

Third, the instance model, once a smart…
