Exotic currency pairs are usually traded at higher spreads but at better rates than major currency pairs. In the currency pair, USD is the base currency, and TRY becomes the quoted currency. 

History of USD/TRY

The American dollar and Turkish lira have a very evident history. The US dollar is the official currency of the USA. The dollar was introduced in 1792. Since then, the USD has been rising, and now it has been consistently proving to be the most stable and liquid currency. It was in the past that it slowly overtook the British pound as the world reserve currency, and it has been the same since the failure of the Bretton Woods System. 

As it belongs to be the national currency of the world’s largest economy who has a track record of producing consistent favourable GDP and a land of high possibilities in technology, manufacturing, energy, etc. America is also home to the world’s most active stock market, New York. The USD is also one of the most traded currencies in the world. 

The Turkish lira is definitely not as strong as the USD, but it is the currency of an upcoming nation. The Turkish lira is the official currency of Turkey as well as Northern Cyprus. The currency holds the 19th position among the most traded currencies in the world. Initially, it was introduced to the world as the Ottoman lira, which was changed to the Turkish lira sometime after 1923. 

The TRY has been a stable currency that has been pegged against the USD, French franc, and British pound. As the country experienced chronic inflation in the 1970s, its value instantly fell, making it the most devalued currency in the world. 

But Turkey as a nation has been growing ever since to be a newly industrialised nation on the world map.
