Crypto platforms are starting to team up in order to bring digital coins to new markets. Recently, a new such partnership was announced with the goal of pushing crypto trades in Eastern Europe, and it includes P2P exchange, Paxful, which teamed up with Turkish BiLira and a trading platform Cointral.

According to Paxful, the move came due to increased trading activity and registrations by Turkish users. Over the past year, the platform noticed a lot more interest in the region, which is why it decided to team up with Cointral and BiLira, both of which are Turkish services.
Paxful also revealed that the average monthly trading volume in Turkey exceeded $65,000, which was enough to awaken interest in the Eastern European region.

Thanks to its partnership with the group, users will now have the ability to use Bilira coins to buy and sell other cryptos, including Bitcoin and Tether.
