**Affirmed position.** 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.
