Bitcoin nears 4 million lira as lira hits record low on 31.5% inflation

  • Lira hit a record low of 48.8 per dollar, down 18% over the year
  • One bitcoin is worth about 3.95 million lira versus 8.3–8.9 lira per dollar five years ago
  • Official inflation at 31.51%, independent ENAG estimate at 49.03%
  • Turkey ranks 14th in Chainalysis's crypto adoption index, with about $200 billion in annual turnover
Why it matters: The weak lira is boosting demand for bitcoin and USDT as a store of value in Turkey, supporting trading volumes in the local market.
