Kilicdaroglu's political views contrast sharply with those of Erdogan. He has pledged to bring freedom and democracy to Turkey, aligning with the aspirations of the younger generation. In September 2021, Erdogan declared the government was at war with cryptocurrencies and had no plans to embrace them. Turkey is among several countries that have not implemented comprehensive regulation for the digital asset sector.
A victory for Kilicdaroglu could significantly boost Turkey's domestic cryptocurrency industry, as he has promised to encourage its growth. The candidate is also a proponent of Web3 technologies, stating, “As soon as we come to power, we will lift the PayPal ban and expand Web3 platforms. Entrepreneurial ecosystems will be our main stakeholders. We will put an end to the economic, scientific, and political stagnation in Turkey.”
Kilicdaroglu envisions a country where entrepreneurs and young people can thrive freely, working with the world's brightest minds to achieve this goal.
He has also criticized the central bank's decision to ban cryptocurrencies as a payment method within Turkey.
