Alliance Between Paxful and Cointral Provides Easy Crypto Access and Liquidity in Turkey

Paxful sees massive potential for crypto adoption in the country and aims to expand its local footprint

Known for its abundance of payment methods and mission for financial inclusion, global peer-to-peer cryptocurrency marketplace Paxful joins forces with Cointral, a cryptocurrency trading platform and cash payment points in Turkey. The partnership will integrate the web-based Paxful Kiosk onto the Cointral platform giving its users access to diverse payment methods that Paxful presents. From bank transfers to gift cards, Cointral customers can choose from a variety of payments and currencies, making crypto purchases a truly seamless experience in the global market.

A survey reports that nearly 20% of Turks have used or owned crypto assets. Following the recent devaluation of the local currency, Lira, the government decided to focus on blockchain adoption as part of its economic roadmap, including a proposal to design a Central bank digital currency based on blockchain technology. The country’s enthusiasm for crypto adoption is particularly beneficial to cryptocurrency marketplaces like Paxful, as Turkey sees a growing need for digital currencies.
