On top of that, 84% of respondents had never heard of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies before. These results have contrasted with previous reports that claimed one-fifth of the Turkish population was exposed to cryptocurrency.

This year, the survey shows a substantial jump in terms of cryptocurrency usage in Turkey. Out of 1,400 respondents, 7.7% said they traded with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, marking an 11-times jump in crypto users compared to last year.

According to the survey, 11% of respondents with crypto knowledge have become active cryptocurrency users. As a major cryptocurrency exchange in the country, Paribu reflects the adoption speed with its user count, which grew from 600,000 to over 4 million within a year.
