TRM Labs Bitcoin and Altcoin Report Reveals Turkey’s Crypto Landscape: What’s Really Happening?
TRM Labs drops bombshell Bitcoin and altcoin analysis with Turkey in the crosshairs - and the findings will make traditional finance sweat.
The Turkey Factor
TRM's latest intelligence report puts Turkey under the crypto microscope, revealing patterns that challenge conventional financial wisdom. While Wall Street analysts debate hypothetical adoption rates, real money moves through Turkish digital asset markets at volumes that'd make legacy banks blush.
Market Realities vs. Banking Fiction
The data doesn't lie - while traditional financial institutions cling to their spreadsheets, crypto markets demonstrate actual utility where it matters most. Another day, another report showing banking dinosaurs struggling to keep pace with digital asset innovation.
Wake-up Call for Traditional Finance
TRM's findings serve notice: the crypto revolution isn't coming - it's already here, and Turkey's playing a leading role. Maybe time for the suits to look up from their Bloomberg terminals and see what actual financial innovation looks like.
A historic shift
With stablecoin settlement already surpassing $4 trillion in the first half of 2025 – more than Visa and Mastercard combined – this launch puts Ledger and Noah at the centre of a historic shift toward faster, cheaper and fairer money.
As one of the biggest names in the crypto sector, Ledger already secures over 20% of the world’s digital assets and 27% of the world’s dollar stablecoins. This partnership transforms its self-custody platform into a true bridge between traditional and digital assets.
At the same time, Noah already powers payments across 70+ countries and 50+ currencies through its global API and hosted checkout. The tie-in with Ledger further advances its mission to set money free by working with leading financial institutions to build a truly borderless economy.
Noah CEO and founder Shah Ramezani said: “By enabling EUR and USD virtual accounts inside Ledger Wallet, we’re setting money free for millions of people. This is about making digital payments accessible at scale, whether you’re paying salaries, sending money home, or converting funds instantly into stablecoins. The fact that transactions now settle in seconds instead of days is transformative.”
A step change in access
To achieve this step change in access and make money MOVE as easily as sending a text, each of the new virtual accounts can be opened in a matter of clicks from within the Ledger Wallet app. Each one comes with a unique IBAN and the entire onboarding, conversion and settlement flow is handled seamlessly by Noah’s regulated payment infrastructure.
In particular, compliance is completed by Noah’s KYC technology without the user ever having to leave the Ledger app, and without Ledger having to take on the regulatory checks itself. The result is what once took days and cost billions in fees now happens in seconds.
Such is the power of this integration, and the wider, soaring demand for stablecoins, the partnership is designed to support hundreds of thousands of new accounts per month, opening the door to new use cases in payroll, remittances, and everyday payments.
Jean-Francois Rochet, EVP of Consumer Services at Ledger, said: “Ledger Wallet is already the trusted platform for securely managing digital assets. With Noah, we’re taking the next leap – giving users regulated EUR and USD accounts built directly into the app, so they can move between traditional money and stablecoins instantly and with confidence. Noah brings the speed, flexibility and trust that match our own mission to make stablecoins mainstream and between us we continue to reshape how money moves globally.”
A shared global ambition
Ledger is the latest in a line of global names trusting Noah to manage its payments flow. The fast-growing stablecoin infrastructure provider has already signed partnerships with Circle and Paxos, bringing its services to millions more stablecoin users.
As adoption grows, Noah and Ledger plan to introduce additional account features, new currencies, and further integrations. Together, the two companies are building the infrastructure for a financial system that is instant, borderless, and built on trust.
Frederic Court from Felix Capital, which is an investor in both Ledger and Noah, said: “Our conviction in Noah was its vision to rewire global payments through stablecoins, and in Ledger, its unmatched ability to safeguard digital assets. This partnership unites those missions – giving millions of people instant, compliant access to stablecoins within the world’s most trusted self-custody app. It’s a milestone for both companies, and for the future of money.”
