DriveWealth, a financial technology platform providing Brokerage-as-a-Service, this week announced its partnership with BtcTurk | Hisse, Turkey’s first Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading platform. This collaboration marks BtcTurk’s move beyond digital assets and into traditional finance since starting in 2023 with Turkish stocks.
With this launch, BtcTurk users can open and fund brokerage accounts, and invest in fractional shares of U.S. stocks and ETFs, all within a secure and compliant environment. This integration delivers a scalable investing experience designed to meet the needs of both first-time investors and seasoned traders, with the ability to expand to additional U.S. asset classes in the future, including options, bonds, alternative funds and more.
The DriveWealth-enabled equities functionality provides critical investment infrastructure, supporting a dedicated experience for traditional equities investing that complements BtcTurk’s core crypto platform. In addition to its core crypto business, BtcTurk | Hisse provides access to trading on both the Turkish and U.S. stock exchanges, with DriveWealth powering U.S. equity functionality.
“DriveWealth is committed to expanding access to regulated investment opportunities through technology that empowers our partners and their customers,” said Naureen Hassan, CEO of DriveWealth. “Our partnership with BtcTurk | Hisse marks a meaningful step toward meeting growing investor demand for diversified, cross-border access to U.S. markets. By leveraging our infrastructure, BtcTurk | Hisse is enabling Turkish users to invest in U.S. equities seamlessly, and we’re proud to support their next chapter and efforts to broaden what’s possible for investors in the region.”
This collaboration makes BtcTurk | Hisse’s cryptocurrency platform the first in the region to integrate regulated securities trading, ushering in a new era of investor access in Turkey, especially for crypto-native users now exploring traditional investment tools.
“Our partnership with DriveWealth marks a significant milestone in BtcTurk’s evolution. By offering access to U.S. equities, we’re expanding our platform to meet the growing demand from retail and institutional investors for diversified, cross-border investment opportunities,” said Murat Bitirici, CEO and board member of BtcTurk | Hisse. “This launch is about more than just access to U.S. equities; it’s about educating and onboarding crypto-native users into traditional finance through a fast, intuitive and affordable investing experience while empowering our users with a broad range of financial tools. This partnership represents the next step in bridging the worlds of digital assets and traditional finance.”
Founded in 2012, DriveWealth empowers leading financial institutions and digital innovators around the world with modern brokerage infrastructure, enabling access to U.S. equities and other asset classes through secure, scalable, and compliant solutions. This new partnership reflects continued momentum in DriveWealth’s global expansion, delivering access to regulated equities infrastructure for a new generation of digital asset platforms.
