Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK), together with the Indonesian Blockchain Association (ABI), opened Crypto Literacy Month 2026, a public education programme aimed at strengthening understanding of digital financial assets and promoting more responsible use of crypto assets. In remarks at the opening, OJK’s chief executive for supervision of financial sector technology innovation and digital financial assets, Adi Budiarso, urged consumers to base crypto trading on strong fundamental data analysis, while prioritising stronger governance and consumer protection to support the industry’s sustainability. OJK pointed to crypto-asset activity as an established part of the economy and referenced tax receipts reported by the Directorate General of Taxes of IDR 796.73 billion in 2025 and IDR 1.96 trillion in February 2026. Crypto-asset transaction value totalled IDR 482.23 trillion in 2025, down from IDR 650.61 trillion in 2024, which OJK attributed to global factors and crypto market cycles; consumer accounts reached 21.07 million by February 2026. The authority also cited Indonesia’s seventh-place ranking in the 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index and described the ecosystem as built on three pillars: an exchange, traders as retail access points, and clearing and custody functions to safeguard assets. BLK 2026 will be held in multiple cities including Jakarta, Solo, Yogyakarta and Manado, and will run three tracks covering public crypto literacy, blockchain literacy for students, academics and developers, and crypto literacy for law enforcement.
