What the law actually says

Access rules in Turkey

Turkey does not explicitly ban residents from purchasing US stocks, though the Central Bank of Turkey (CBRT) regulates forex. Capital controls have been tightened in recent years, and access may be limited or subject to approval depending on forex conditions.

Local routes

Interactive Brokers, eToro, Saxo Bank.

The perpetual route

A US-equity perpetual tracks the share price and settles in crypto. There is no broker, no remittance and no share: it confers no votes and no dividends, and funding is charged or paid every 1h for as long as the position is open.

Three ways to reach a US share price from Turkey

Two routes buy the share. The third buys exposure to its price and nothing else.

Domestic broker with a US partner

WORKS
The only rail a licensed platform may use under Communiquรฉ III-35/B.2 Art. 51(3): transfers only through the customer's own bank account.
E-money wallets (Papara and similar)
BLOCKED
Barred by the Central Bank's 2021 regulation Art. 4(2), which forbids e-money institutions from intermediating crypto transfers.
Credit/debit card
BLOCKED
Excluded because Art. 51(3) allows licensed platforms only bank electronic transfers, not card acquiring.
Cash
BLOCKED
Communiquรฉ III-35/B.2 Art. 51(1) bars platforms from taking, returning, or holding customer cash.
Crypto as a means of payment
BLOCKED
Prohibited outright as a payments ban by the Central Bank's 2021 regulation Art. 3(2); trading itself is not banned.
USDT P2P
LIMITS
Widely used in practice; trading for others at volume falls inside SPK licensing.
