Indonesia’s New Regulations for the Cryptocurrency Market: A Shift Towards Greater Transparency and Oversight

Crypto Regulations in Indonesia 2025

In a significant move, the Indonesian government has announced new regulations for the crypto market, aiming to create a more secure and stable environment for investors. As of January 1, 2025, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) now regulates cryptocurrencies, taking over from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti).

With these stricter regulations in place, Indonesia is moving forward with its efforts to increase transparency, consumer protection, and regulatory oversight. The government aims to maintain a balance between embracing innovation and safeguarding the public’s interests.

In line with this objective, OJK issued licenses for Digital Financial Assets (DFA) Traders on March 2025, issuing 19 licenses while processing 11 more at the time of writing. This move is expected to boost investor confidence in the market.

The government also introduced a digital financial asset trading mechanism and has launched a regulatory sandbox, allowing companies to test innovative ideas without risking their assets.
