Open Bybit ->Why Turkey freelancers are switching to USDT
Turkey has massive USDT adoption — citizens use it as a hedge against TRY inflation (60-80% YoY). Freelancers earning in USD are doubly motivated to receive USDT directly: avoid FX loss plus avoid lira depreciation. Bybit is fully accessible.
The math at typical Turkey freelance volumes (12,000 TRY/month):
- PayPal international: ~7-8% effective cost = significant annual loss.
- USDT on Bybit: ~0.1% effective cost — almost negligible.
- Setup time: 10-15 minutes including KYC.
Tax note for Turkey: In Turkey, crypto is not yet classified as a financial asset for individuals. As of 2026 there is no specific capital gains tax on crypto for personal use. However, freelance income (regardless of payment form) remains subject to income tax (15-40%).
