Crypto Kemal (Kemal Hiçyılmaz)
Kemal Hiçyılmaz
🇹🇷Türkiye· Istanbul
Founded Turkey's largest retail crypto community in 2019 — and captained Ninja Squad to a podium finish at the country's first live crypto trade-off.
The Bitfinex Trade Masters Türkiye event ran in Maslak, Istanbul on May 3 2023 — the first live esports-style Turkish crypto trade-off, ten KOL community teams competing over a four-hour window for a 175,000-TL prize pool. The 1st-place team was Winning Circle, 2nd Trader Kulübü, and 3rd was Ninja Squad — captained by Kemal Hiçyılmaz, who built the underlying Ninja Traders TR community starting in 2019. By 2023 the community had passed 100,000 members across Telegram and other channels; the Bitfinex live event was the first time the team's trading discipline was tested under public-broadcast conditions.
He is the most publicly-cross-linkable Turkish crypto trader with a verified tournament credential — X handle (@CryptoKemal), Instagram (~42K), LinkedIn under his legal name, plus the Ninja Squad NFT collection, Ninja News, Ninja Tools, and the $NST token. Speaker at Istanbul Blockchain Week 2023. The Bitfinex Trade Masters team format means his individual trading position inside the 4-hour window isn't separately published — but the team-bronze placement makes him the modern Turkish crypto tournament profile with the cleanest public surface.
