- PancakeSwap access blocked in Turkey for unauthorized services.
- CAKE token drops over 3% following the block.
- No public response from PancakeSwap or Binance leaders.
Turkey’s Capital Markets Board (CMB) has blocked access to PancakeSwap, citing unauthorized crypto asset service provision in July 2025.
This action signifies Turkey’s ongoing stance against unlicensed crypto operations, leading to a sharp 3.36% drop in CAKE’s value.
The Capital Markets Board (CMB) of Türkiye has taken a significant step by blocking access to PancakeSwap, which is developed on the BNB Chain. CMB’s decision is based on PancakeSwap’s failure to secure the necessary licenses. Similar restrictions have affected other platforms, underscoring the regulatory challenges crypto markets face.
The block has impacted market sentiment, leading to a decline in CAKE’s value and trading volume on PancakeSwap dropping by 23.5%. All major assets traded on PancakeSwap may experience declines in volume and liquidity due to this ban. PancakeSwap’s inability to serve Turkish users highlights broader issues about regulatory compliance within the decentralized finance sector.
The block may affect PancakeSwap’s operations and future viability, pushing users to seek alternatives or comply with local regulations. Historical precedents show Turkey’s restrictions reflect a broader pattern in cryptocurrency regulation. The absence of official comments from key leaders leaves many questions about the long-term impact of these actions on the decentralized finance ecosystem.
The CMB officially stated the reason as ‘unauthorized crypto asset service provision.’
