Indonesia’s crypto market continued to show strong growth momentum in early 2026, with both user participation and trading activity reaching new milestones.
According to Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK), spot crypto asset trading volume reached IDR 99.01 trillion, or approximately US$5.5 billion, between January and April 2026. The figure put Indonesia’s crypto market close to the IDR 100 trillion mark within just four months.
Monthly trading activity also continued to rise. Crypto transaction volume in April reached IDR 22.98 trillion, or around US$1.29 billion, up 2.86% from IDR 22.34 trillion in March.
Adi Budiarso, Head of Supervision for Financial Technology Innovation, Digital Financial Assets, and Crypto Assets at OJK, said consumer confidence in Indonesia’s digital asset ecosystem remains resilient despite market fluctuations.
“Amid fluctuations in transaction activity, consumer confidence in Indonesia’s digital financial asset ecosystem, including crypto assets, remains well maintained,” Adi said during OJK’s May 2026 Financial Services Sector Assessment press conference in early June.
Crypto Adoption Continues to Expand
Beyond trading volume growth, Indonesia continues to record steady growth in crypto users.
OJK reported that the total number of digital financial asset and crypto asset accounts reached 21.7 million in April 2026. This was up 1.57% from 21.37 million accounts in March.
The increase shows that public interest in crypto remains strong despite periods of market volatility. It also reinforces Indonesia’s position as one of Asia’s largest crypto markets by user participation.
For global crypto and Web3 companies, this growing user base signals a market with strong retail demand, expanding digital asset awareness, and increasing readiness for more advanced blockchain products.

Indonesia’s Regulated Crypto Ecosystem Keeps Growing
Indonesia’s crypto industry is also becoming more mature from both a product and regulatory perspective.

OJK has also licensed 32 entities across the crypto trading ecosystem. These include two crypto exchanges, two clearing institutions, two custodians, and 26 licensed Digital Financial Asset Traders, locally known as PAKD.
In addition, the regulator has approved seven supporting institutions, all of which operate as licensed payment service providers.
OJK is still reviewing several new license applications, including one prospective crypto exchange, one clearing institution, one custodian, and two prospective digital asset trading firms.

OJK Strengthens Oversight Under New Crypto Framework
Indonesia’s crypto sector is now under OJK supervision following the regulatory transition from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency, or Bappebti.
As part of this transition, OJK continues to strengthen licensing, compliance, and consumer protection across the digital asset industry.
In May 2026, OJK officially granted a Digital Financial Asset Trader license to Luno Indonesia, expanding the number of regulated crypto trading platforms in the country.
At the same time, the regulator rejected one license application from a prospective crypto trading company. OJK said the rejected entity must fulfill all rights and obligations to its customers in accordance with applicable regulations.
The decision reflects OJK’s effort to ensure that only qualified and compliant players can operate in Indonesia’s digital asset market.
