AAX’s sponsorship program is characterized by a prominent presence at Istanbul Airport: promotional materials will attract the attention of all visitors to the country over the next few days.

Istanbul and Turkey are among the most influential cryptocurrency and blockchain hubs globally: over 16% of the country’s population holds Bitcoin (BTC) or at least one altcoin, a recent survey says.

Ben Caselin, VP of Global Marketing and Head of Research and Strategy at AAX, highlighted the critical importance of this region to his firm’s marketing and adoption strategies:

Our presence at the summit in Istanbul also marks our expansion into Turkiye as one of our target markets. In Turkiye, there is an understanding of Bitcoin and digital assets beyond trading and investment alone. Digital assets including stablecoins are a necessity here and AAX is ready to serve this market beyond the borders of the city centers to bring the benefits of digital assets to everyone.

Alex Bornyakov, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, entrepreneur Carl Runefelt and MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor will be among the speakers at the summit.

Anadolu Aydinli appointed as AAX’s Country Director for Turkey

To increase adoption in Turkey, the AAX team decided to appoint Anadolu Aydinli as the Country Director in Turkey. Mr. Aydinli, a Turkish-American attorney, will lead AAX’s regional strategy focused on introducing cryptocurrencies to a new generation of investors.

Mr. Aydinli is excited about the opportunities his new role opens up for the AAX ecosystem and Web3 in Eurasia as a whole:

Everyone aims to be as established as they can be in a crucial market like Turkey, but we take it a step further by explicitly focusing on local partnerships, sustainability and philanthropy. We have one of the most crypto-native teams in Turkey right now, with deep exchange and product knowledge to help hyper-accelerate our growth in this market we call home. We are ready to not only continue the journey of digital asset adoption in Turkey, but help our users reach their maximum potential through our product.

On July 26, 2022, AAX’s Ben Caselin also hosted a successful meet-up event in Istanbul for the local cryptocurrency and blockchain community.
