At a Digital Financial Literacy lecture at Sebelas Maret University in Solo, the Indonesia Financial Services Authority urged younger consumers to approach crypto assets and asset tokenisation critically and responsibly, framing stronger digital financial literacy as essential to participation in Indonesia’s expanding digital finance market. Adi Budiarso, Executive Head for the Supervision of Financial Sector Technology Innovation, Digital Financial Assets and Crypto Assets, said innovation such as blockchain, cryptography and tokenisation can widen access to formal investment, including for young people and smaller businesses, but that market development also depends on the public’s understanding of the risks. OJK used the event to highlight recent market growth. As of February 2026, Indonesia had more than 21 million crypto consumer accounts, while crypto trading value reached IDR 482.23 trillion in 2025. The number of crypto assets traded in Indonesia increased from about 501 in 2023 to more than 1,464 in 2026, and crypto-related tax revenue was about IDR 796.73 billion in 2025. OJK also said there are 25 licensed digital financial asset traders, supported by exchange, clearing, custody, banking and payment service infrastructure. The event covered crypto, tokenisation, financial planning and the role of regulators and academia, and OJK said it will continue working with universities, industry associations and other stakeholders to expand digital financial literacy.
