Paribu

The business model centres on operating a centralised cryptocurrency trading platform that connects retail and professional traders to crypto spot markets, providing liquidity, order matching and fiat on-ramping from Turkish lira. This core platform creates value by aggregating trading demand, maintaining market access and custody infrastructure, and offering local-language support and compliance adapted to the Turkish market. Around this core, the company has built adjacent services: institutional digital-asset custody and staking, a blockchain network oriented to SportFi and fan tokens, a ticketing and events marketplace, and a corporate venture arm investing in Web3 projects. These extensions deepen user engagement, expand institutional relationships, and position the firm as a broader digital-asset and fintech ecosystem player in Türkiye and the MENA region.

Paribu is a Turkey-based centralised cryptocurrency exchange and digital-asset services group founded in 2017. It provides retail and professional traders with a Turkish-lira on-ramp, web and mobile trading interfaces, and a higher-performance pro interface supported by its matching engine. The group has expanded into institutional custody, a proprietary blockchain network focused on SportFi and fan tokens, a venture arm, and a ticketing and events marketplace, alongside acquisitions in media and consumer applications.

The company generates most of its revenue from trading fees on spot crypto markets and related network fees, supplemented by institutional custody and staking revenues, commissions from ticketing and event services, and financial returns from venture investments. Its customers include individual and professional crypto traders, institutional asset holders seeking local custody, event organisers and venues using its ticketing services, and early-stage Web3 and blockchain startups seeking investment and partnerships.
