| Description | Operate a registered crypto OTC desk that lets Turkish and regional clients convert TRY/USD/EUR into USDT/USDC and back, hedging lira depreciation and enabling cross-border payments amid regional tension. Monetization: 0.5-1.5% spread plus withdrawal fees; premium service for corporate settlements. Requirements: obtain local crypto-asset service provider registration in Turkey/UAE, robust KYC/AML, a liquidity pool of $50k-$100k, banking relationships, and cold/hot wallet custody. Start with a Telegram/WhatsApp concierge plus a simple web portal; later add an API for SMEs. This is a service business, not an investment in a specific crypto asset, and it is not financial advice on holding volatile tokens. |
