The fact that cryptocurrencies are used in many sectors today and the structures that have developed under cryptocurrency systems, such as encryption, blockchain and smart contracts, that make our lives easier, have entered our daily lives has made it a necessity for cryptocurrencies and related subsystems to be provided with a legal infrastructure with legal regulations. The aim of the study is to examine the developments and functions assigned to money from the invention of money to the present day, to address the reasons for the emergence of cryptocurrencies and to examine the effects of cryptocurrency technologies on a country, society and economy basis.
