Extension: THE QUALIFICATION OF CRYPTO-ASSETS AS SECURITIES UNDER TURKISH LAW: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-128 · 2026-08-08

The Qualification of Crypto-Assets as Securities Under Turkish Law states that Turkish law has no published guidance on when crypto-assets qualify as securities. This supplies a comparative guidance gap relevant to Kaal's rights-based classification account under German law. The source does not establish that German criteria control in Turkey or state the classification rule Turkish authorities should adopt.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
