Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Turkey’s Paribu Buys CoinMENA in $240M Deal, Expanding Into High-Growth Crypto Markets Original Link: Paribu, one of Turkey’s largest digital asset platforms, has acquired crypto exchange CoinMENA for up to $240 million, marking the country’s biggest fintech acquisition and its first cross-border crypto deal, the company announced on Friday.

CoinMENA, based in Bahrain and operating with licenses in both Bahrain and Dubai, is one of the top local exchanges in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The acquisition gives Paribu an immediate regulatory footing in jurisdictions that have become hubs for digital assets, including Dubai, which has been licensing crypto firms under its Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).

The move reflects a broader wave of crypto industry consolidation. A total of 95 mergers and acquisitions were announced globally in the third quarter of 2025 alone, according to a report from Architect Partners.

Is Turkey about to enter the Middle East this time? Investing $240 million, Paribu's ambition is not small.

LOL, $240 million thrown in—are they harvesting or gambling? Is that piece of land in the Middle East really that attractive?

The Middle East is really rising this time. For a Turkish exchange to spend so much on an acquisition, what does that say? It means they're betting that this market is going to explode.

The Middle East market is really booming. Buying an exchange for $240 million—Paribu is definitely betting big on MENA.

ngl, $240m for a mena play sounds like paribu's finally doing something interesting... but has anyone actually validated their security audit on coinmena? technically speaking, that price tag feels a bit aggressive without proper due diligence disclosure
