Crypto ExchangesExchange profile

Bitexen exchange profile

Bitexen’s Turkish platform serves existing customers under a September 2026 restriction on new customers and listings. This profile details trading mechanics, funding, account controls, costs and the limits of its temporary regulatory-list status.

Services for existing customers

Sections ↑

Bitexen’s Turkish platform is operating for existing customers only. Its current public statement says those customers can continue trading and depositing or withdrawing Turkish lira and crypto. New customers and new crypto listings are suspended following the SPK decision. Historical registration guides should therefore be read as descriptions of the account process, not invitations to open a new account.[3]

The SPK’s operating-provider list confirms its 23 September 2026 decision in its asterisked note. The regulator also states that inclusion on the list is not authorisation under the legislation. This is a platform-wide onboarding restriction.[2]

Platforms & products01

Trading interfaces

Trading interfaces
RouteHow it worksWhat to inspect
PROOrder-book trading on the mobile PRO screen, with chart, depth, recent trades and open orders.Limit, market, stop-limit and stop-market controls are documented.Source 5
Quick Buy/SellConversions are routed through connected global exchanges.The displayed quote incorporates the spread; no separate commission is described for this route.Source 10
Quick price-triggered ordersA separate guide describes orders processed automatically when the chosen price level is reached.The guide’s marketing asset count is not a verified current list after the listing restriction.Source 12

Quick Buy/Sell also supports crypto-to-crypto conversion without the customer manually performing an intermediate TRY or USDT trade. The amount entered is the asset spent; the estimated output shows what the conversion would deliver. Compare quantities and units carefully when switching the direction of a pair, because a familiar ticker does not make the two quote directions economically identical.[11]

Process02

Orders and available funds

Orders and available funds
SituationDocumented behaviourPractical consequence
Limit orderThe order waits for an executable counterparty at the chosen limit.Reaching a quoted price does not establish that the full quantity will fill.Source 6
Market orderExecution uses available opposing orders and may consume several price levels.Thin depth can change the average execution price.Source 6
Partial executionOne order can produce several fills because counterparties arrive in portions.Use trade history for the actual executed amounts, not only the original order size.Source 8
Reserved balanceFunds committed to open orders remain in total assets but leave available balance.Total holdings can exceed the amount usable for a new order.Source 7
CancellationThe open-order control cancels the remaining pending order.Previously executed portions remain trades; closing the screen is not evidence of cancellation.Source 9

For example, a hypothetical TRY15,000 total balance with TRY6,000 reserved by open orders leaves TRY9,000 available for a new order. Cancellation releases only the still-reserved amount. If part of the order has already traded, that part has changed the account’s asset composition and cannot be restored merely by cancelling the remainder.[7]

Commissions, spread and transaction costs

Sections ↑
Pricing & charges03

PRO commission schedule

PRO commission schedule
Execution rolePublished rateCost on a hypothetical TRY30,000 execution
Maker0.15%, before VATTRY45 before VAT.
Taker0.25%, before VATTRY75 before VAT.
One maker purchase and one taker saleSeparate execution chargesTRY120 before VAT if each side independently has TRY30,000 notional.

Maker and taker describe the execution’s effect on the order book. An order that rests and adds liquidity is a maker execution; one that immediately consumes an existing offer or bid is a taker execution. A limit instruction can therefore incur the taker rate when it crosses the book. Selecting “limit” does not, by itself, lock in the cheaper commission.[13]

Quick Buy/Sell’s “no separate commission” description does not mean the conversion is costless. The provider says the spread is included in the quoted price. Compare the actual units received for the units spent, using quotes taken at the same time; a PRO commission percentage and a Quick conversion quote describe different cost presentations.[10]

Transfer cost is also separate from trading commission. The XRP withdrawal guide shows the requested amount and transfer charge adding to the total debit. Its fee display should be checked for the specific withdrawal rather than treated as a fixed universal crypto fee. A destination tag may also be required by the receiving platform.[23]

TRY transfers and crypto withdrawals

Sections ↑
Process04

Mobile funding rules

Mobile funding rules
ActionPublished ruleAccount implication
TRY depositMinimum TRY1; use an account in the customer’s own name and the supplied reference.The payee must use the updated legal name.
TRY withdrawalMinimum TRY50; destination must be the customer’s own demand-deposit bank account.Daily and monthly limits are shown in My Account.
Crypto withdrawalChoose asset, network, amount and destination; minimum and fee appear on screen.Two-factor authentication is required; a first-time destination needs email approval.
Device routeThe revised mobile flow supports the first crypto withdrawal.An old assumption that initial withdrawal requires desktop access is not supported by this guide.

The bank-timing guide distinguishes transfers at contracted banks from interbank EFT. It describes contracted-bank crediting in minutes and EFT during banking hours, with out-of-hours EFT moving to the next business day. FAST transfers of up to TRY300,000 are described as available around the clock. These are rail and processing descriptions, not a guarantee that a compliance-held or incorrectly referenced transfer will arrive within minutes.[15]

Transfer terms05

Crypto-transfer waiting periods

Crypto-transfer waiting periods
Trigger or limitProvider’s published ruleScope
Purchase, exchange or depositAt least 48 hours before withdrawal.The compliance notice took effect on 28 June 2025.
First withdrawalAt least 72 hours.A longer first-transfer wait is stated.
Amount limitsUS$3,000 equivalent daily and US$50,000 monthly.The notice says withdrawals, including transfers to other platforms, are covered.
Transfer explanationAt least 20 characters.A meaningful transfer description is required.

Older XRP instructions mention a 24-hour wait after an initial TRY deposit. That older statement should not be used to shorten the later 48/72-hour compliance waits. The XRP guide separately states a 24-hour restriction after a password change. Network selection, any required destination tag and first-address email approval remain necessary even after a waiting period ends.[23][16]

Account custody and security controls

Sections ↑

Trading uses a custodial account: Bitexen credits deposits and processes withdrawals through its authentication and approval controls. Saving an external destination does not turn that account into a self-custody wallet or give the customer its private keys.[14]

The public main-account-agreement page did not yield a readable contract for this review. Customer-asset segregation, insolvency priority and any insured customer limit therefore remain unestablished here. It would be misleading to substitute a loyalty-programme agreement or a regulatory-list entry for those missing account-specific protections.[28]

Protections & eligibility06

Account authentication and recovery

Account authentication and recovery
CasePublished routeLimit
Normal sign-in protectionSMS or Google Authenticator; the guide favours the authenticator option.Preserve access to the registered contact details.
Authenticator resetUse the account-information-change process with identity evidence, a signed request/selfie and the applicable email or phone checks.No fixed completion time is promised in the inspected instructions.
Recovery evidenceThe provider reviews the submitted identity material.A request for recovery is distinct from confirmation that account access or withdrawals have been restored.

For a planned device change, Bitexen’s guidance calls for handling the authenticator binding while the old device is still available. If the normal process cannot be completed, support may require a signed request and identity selfie. Preserve the old access method until the provider’s replacement process is complete; merely installing the app on a new handset does not transfer every authentication credential.[20]

Existing-account eligibility and verification

Sections ↑

The issuer’s statement contains no exception allowing a prospective customer to bypass the new-customer restriction through a different account type. Historical individual and corporate application guides remain subordinate to that restriction.[3]

Account comparison07

Verification evidence described in account guides

Verification evidence described in account guides
Account contextDocumentationCurrent reading
IndividualPhone details, identity document, Turkish residence/address evidence and customer form; additional selfie evidence may be requested.The guide addresses Turkish citizens and temporary-resident identity documents. It is not a current worldwide eligibility promise.Source 26
CompanyCorporate application and supporting documents through the website, followed by review.This describes the corporate process for the account framework; it does not override the ban on new customers.Source 27

The individual-verification guide says identity files are encrypted, watermarked and available to authorised staff. Those are the provider’s stated handling measures. Any change to name, phone or other identifying information should be handled through the documented account-change process rather than creating a replacement registration under someone else’s details.[26]

Help, freezes, account closure and records

Sections ↑
Process08

Published support availability

Published support availability
ChannelContact or hoursDistinction
General support[email protected]; support advertised as available 24/7.This describes overall support availability, not round-the-clock telephone staffing.
Call centre0 (850) 255 08 92; weekdays 09:00–18:00.The notice does not identify a timezone explicitly.
Execution or withdrawal incidentKeep the relevant order ID, amount, asset, network and timestamps when contacting support.No guaranteed telephone execution or emergency dealing procedure was established from the support notice.

If a device is lost, the published route is to contact support by email or telephone to request a temporary account freeze, then request reactivation after resolving the access problem. The guide does not establish that a freeze automatically cancels every accepted order. Ask for the status of open orders and transfers explicitly, particularly where a transaction was already submitted.[21]

Permanent closure is a separate process: send the request from the registered email address to [email protected] and let support handle the closure workflow. The article does not specify a universal completion deadline, an inactivity fee or an automatic dormant-account closure period. Silence on those terms is not evidence that every account is free of such charges.[18]

Availability09

Records for reconciliation

Records for reconciliation
RecordHow to obtain itUse
Blockchain transferAccount Summary → Transfers → Transfer History → Information shows the transaction identifier.Use the hash to distinguish an account processing issue from a receiving-network or destination issue.Source 25
Executed trading portionsThe trade history reflects separate fills when an order executes in pieces.Reconcile executed quantity and price rather than assuming the original order filled in one transaction.Source 8
Open-order stateThe cancellation control applies to pending orders.Retain the final order state after cancellation; a submitted cancellation request is not a tax record.Source 9

The inspected help material establishes transfer history and transaction identifiers, but not a complete downloadable tax certificate or a guaranteed full-history CSV export. For accounting, request the precise date range, trade fills, fees, TRY cash movements and crypto transfers needed, and reconcile them with the bank and blockchain records.[25]

Turkish regulatory status

Sections ↑

Bitexen Kripto Varlık Alım Satım Platformu A.Ş. appears on the SPK’s temporary list of providers reporting ongoing activities. The regulator cautions that appearing there does not mean the provider is authorised. The asterisked note records the 23 September 2026 decision, meeting 61, prohibiting new customers and new listings until another decision; service may continue only to existing customers. That is the status used here, without converting the list into a positive exchange licence.[2]

This profile covers the Turkish platform and its Turkish legal-name notice. It does not extend that entity’s regulatory position to similarly branded overseas entities or infer foreign account eligibility from a shared brand. The legal counterparty named on the customer’s account documents remains relevant to any separate regional service.[1]

Company identity

Company identity
ItemEvidence and scope
Current nameBitexen Kripto Varlık Alım Satım Platformu Anonim Şirketi. The rename notice replaces the previous Bitexen Teknoloji Anonim Şirketi name.Source 1
Bank-transfer consequenceUse the current corporate payee name. The notice presents the change as a legal-name update with continuing service.Source 1
OriginA company description in a 2022 release says Bitexen was founded in 2018 in the İTÜ ARI Teknokent technology-development zone.Source 31
Observed market coverageCoinGecko displayed approximately US$224,000 of reported rolling 24-hour spot volume in the 20 October 2026 retrieval, with one pair tracked.Source 30

That volume snapshot is a narrow measurement of the markets CoinGecko tracks. It does not establish total Quick Buy/Sell routed turnover, group revenue, customer assets or active traders. No defensible current count of registered or actively trading customers was established from the inspected sources. Routing into other exchanges can also overlap turnover reported elsewhere, so it should not simply be added to venue figures.[30]

The EXEN token’s trading termination notice set removal for 28 March 2025 at 13:00, without specifying a timezone. Deposits and purchases were stopped, while withdrawals remained the exception to removal. An old reference to EXEN-based commission benefits should therefore not be assumed to describe the present tariff or a guaranteed redemption value for a remaining balance.[24]
