Bitcoin price rose to a record high in the pair with Turkey’s national currency. Alongside Bitcoin\u2019s gains, the weaker lira is a key factor, as it has this year cemented its status as the worst-performing among emerging-market currencies.<\/p>\n

According to CoinGecko<\/a>, the market value of 1 BTC in Turkey surpassed 100 thousand lira.<\/p>\n

The lira\u2019s weakness is attributed to rising geopolitical tensions with the United States and the European Union, as well as deteriorating fundamentals. Capital inflows have stalled and do not offset the negative trade balance. Gold and foreign-exchange reserves, which have fallen to a 15-year low, are effectively exhausted given corporate-sector debt.<\/p>\n
