Turkey is fourth worldwide in raw crypto transaction volume, receiving approximately $170 billion over the last year (Chainalysis). The broader MENA region moves $338.7 billion. Until now, institutions wanting to access these markets faced a choice: sacrifice security for rewards, or leave billions idle in custody.
That compromise ends today.
P2P.org is now live as the preferred staking provider for Paribu Custody, Turkey’s first and only digital asset custody provider powered by its proprietary technology. This integration brings our battle-tested validator infrastructure, currently securing over $10 billion across 40+ networks, directly to institutions operating in one of crypto's fastest-growing regions.
According to the 2024 Paribu Crypto Awareness and Perception Survey, cryptocurrency awareness in Turkey reached 99%, while 27% of people reported making transactions. Retail users often use crypto for investment and as a hedge against inflation, while institutional users, primarily investment funds, are becoming more involved as the market matures. Turkey stands out for having the highest share of professional-level crypto transactions (43.2%) in the MENA region, indicating a vibrant market for mid-sized transfers and large-scale retail activity.
Paribu Custody, backed by Paribu — a key player in the development of Turkey’s blockchain and crypto ecosystem — serves as the regulatory-compliant bridge global institutions need. Now, with P2P.org's integration, these institutions can put their assets to work without leaving the security of Paribu's ColdShield® technology.
Through this integration, Paribu Custody clients gain immediate access to:
Superior Network Performance
Comprehensive Network Coverage
Built for Institutional Requirements
MENA markets are experiencing explosive growth, with Saudi Arabia leading at 154% year-over-year. The UAE's VARA framework has licensed 32 virtual asset service providers, and combined with ADGM and DIFC regulations, Dubai has become MENA's institutional crypto hub, processing $29.2 billion in transactions annually.
"The MENA region represents the next frontier for institutional crypto adoption, and Turkey is its gateway," said Alex Esin, CEO at P2P.org. "Paribu Custody's deep regional expertise combined with our validator infrastructure creates something unique: a compliant, secure path for global institutions to access one of the world's most dynamic crypto markets. Together we’re unlocking an entire region's potential."
“We are excited to integrate P2P.org’s staking capabilities into our platform. Its ability to deliver both security and scalability makes it an ideal match for Paribu Custody’s vision of institutional excellence. Their technical depth and focus on reliability allow us to deliver more value to our clients and broaden our service spectrum,” said Mehmet Hüseyin Kafadar, Director of Paribu Custody.
This integration leverages the best of both platforms:

With independent wallets, end-to-end security infrastructure, and its uniquely engineered ColdShield® technology, Paribu Custody enables institutions to securely store their digital assets, manage operations, and develop their own financial products.
Paribu Custody leads digital asset security in Türkiye, setting itself apart from global competitors through its multi-layered security architecture ColdShield®. Driven by an innovative vision, Paribu Custody meets today’s institutional needs while also addressing tomorrow's goals.

Starting today, the "Ledger by P2P.org" validator enables direct staking with just one click, no asset movement, and automatic reward compounding every epoch.</p><p>This changes the risk-reward equation for SUI holders completely. You're no longer choosing between security and rewards. The same validator maintaining 99.99% uptime since SUI testnet — processing over $500 million in staked assets — now sits directly inside your Ledger Live app. Our optimized operations deliver around 2.6%, with rewards compounding automatically every 24 hours. That's 8,760 compound events per year working for your position.<br></p><h2 id="the-numbers-behind-our-9999-uptime"><strong>The Numbers Behind Our 99.99% Uptime</strong></h2><p>Our 99.99% uptime didn't happen by accident. During the March 2024 network congestion event, we delayed our planned maintenance window by 72 hours after our monitoring detected unusual transaction patterns across the network. While three major validators experienced brief outages during the subsequent upgrade, our decision to wait preserved uptime for all delegators. This is thanks to systematic decisions we made based on redundant monitoring across Singapore, Frankfurt, and Virginia data centers.</p><p>The technical stack matters for your stake. We run validators on dedicated hardware with 2x the recommended specifications, not because SUI requires it today, but because network demands spike unpredictably. Our auto-compounding system triggers within 90 seconds of each epoch completion, capturing rewards before the next epoch begins.</p><p>Our unbonding period stands at exactly one epoch — 24 hours — compared to the 2-3 epoch standard among most validators. When you need liquidity, you get it faster. This isn't achieved through shortcuts but through maintaining higher collateral ratios and separate operational wallets that ensure network security while providing flexibility.</p><h2 id="how-it-works-5-clicks-60-seconds"><strong>How It Works: 5 Clicks, 60 Seconds</strong></h2><p><strong>Step 1: Navigate to Staking</strong> <br>Open Ledger Live → SUI wallet → Click "Earn Rewards"</p><p><strong>Step 2: Choose Your Validator</strong><br>Select "Ledger by P2P.org" from the validator list <em>(That's us — same infrastructure, white label branding)</em></p><p><strong>Step 3: Set Your Amount</strong> <br>Enter your stake (minimum: 1 SUI)Review the transaction summary showing your ~2.6% APY</p><p><strong>Step 4: Confirm on Device</strong> <br>Approve using your Ledger's physical buttons <em>(Your keys never leave the hardware)</em></p><p><strong>Step 5: Start Earning</strong> <br>Stake activates at next epoch (within 24 hours)Rewards begin compounding automatically every epoch</p><p><strong>That's it.</strong> No external websites.
