Türkiye launched the Digital transformation strategy in January 2022, including Web3 and the Meta Universe Program. Ali Taha Ko ç, a senior official of the Digital transformation Office of the President of Türkiye, known as "BLD 4.0", said that the policy was formulated to address several issues including NFT.

Last February, Ankara University became the first higher education institution in Türkiye to offer NFT courses. Senior officials from the Presidential Palace and the Ministry of Culture attended the first course of the course. Last March, Türkiye TradeValley opened a virtual digital city for shopping through Metaverse technology, displaying the tower in Doha, the capital of Qatar, the palm island of the United Arab Emirates, and other landmarks from Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and other cities.

Altun stated that Web3 and the metaverse provide an opportunity for the country to become a global power.
