CertiK Hosts Institutional Security Workshop in Turkey in Collaboration with TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Blockchain Lab

CertiK, a Web3 security services provider, hosted an institutional security workshop in Turkey on June 5, 2026, bringing together financial institutions, crypto asset service providers (CASPs), and regulators to address the security and compliance requirements shaping the country’s rapidly developing digital asset market.

The workshop featured welcome remarks from Jason Jiang, Chief Business Officer of CertiK, alongside Ünal Altinay, Head of TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Blockchain Lab, and Oguz Kucukcelebi, Head of Safety & Business Development at Forcerta.

Sessions spanned Turkey’s CASP regulatory framework and evolving digital asset landscape; the current state of Web3 security; practical approaches to digital asset custody, key management, and operational security; stablecoin and RWA security; and real-time incident response, Presentations were delivered by Jiang and CertiK security engineers Peiyu Wang, Uzeyir Destan, and Turgay Arda Usman.

Turkey’s CASP regulatory framework sets technically prescriptive requirements for licensed CASPs, including hardware security module (HSM) standards, multi-party key management protocols, and infrastructure hosting mandates.

Altinay’s session walked attendees through Turkey’s regulatory hierarchy, from primary legislation and SPK communiqués to TÜBİTAK BİLGEM’s technical mandates and MASAK’s AML/CFT and Travel Rule obligations. Altinay framed Turkey’s prescriptive approach as an advantage for institutions building compliant infrastructure.

CertiK security engineers delivered four sessions across the workshop. Wang presented on the 2026 Web3 threat landscape, noting that recorded exploits by May 2026 had nearly matched the full-year 2025 total. Destan covered digital asset custody architecture and incident response, including case studies from the WOO X and Kelp DAO incidents. Usman addressed stablecoin and RWA smart contract security, walking attendees through common vulnerability classes and an auditor’s checklist for tokenized asset infrastructure.

“Turkey has built one of the most technically rigorous CASP frameworks in the world, and TÜBİTAK BİLGEM’s security criteria reflect a clear-eyed understanding of what institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure actually requires,” said Jiang. “Our goal with this workshop was to help institutions operating in this market understand both the regulatory bar they need to meet and the threat environment they are entering, so they can build with confidence from day one.”

The workshop is part of CertiK’s ongoing engagement with regulators, financial institutions, and CASPs across emerging digital asset markets globally.
