The midday session brought several notable developments across global finance and digital assets. Multiple European countries have now transitioned to daylight saving time, potentially affecting trading windows across regions.
Regulatory Landscape Shifts
In a significant policy update, Turkey has removed specific clauses related to cryptocurrency taxation from a recent legislative proposal. The initially planned levy on digital asset transactions has been withdrawn, possibly easing regulatory pressure on the local ecosystem.
