Indonesia’s crypto industry continues to mature with 1,444 crypto tokens officially registered for trading. This milestone underscores Indonesia’s commitment to building a safer, more transparent digital asset ecosystem.
PT Central Finansial X (CFX), the world’s first crypto exchange licensed and supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), officially released the list of recognized crypto assets in Indonesia. Through a decree issued on April 16, 2025, CFX designated 1,444 crypto assets as legally tradable, reinforcing legal certainty, enhancing transaction security, and expanding consumer protection within the national digital asset ecosystem.
The supervision of crypto asset trading, historically under Bappebti (Badan Pengawas Perdagangan Berjangka Komoditi), is now transitioning to the Financial Services Authority (OJK – Otoritas Jasa Keuangan).
Significant Expansion from Previous Listings
Compared to the previous list published by Bappebti, which included only 851 assets, the current list marks a significant expansion. Recognized assets now include major names like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP), and USDT.
Popular altcoins such as Chainlink (LINK), Tron (TRON), Toncoin (TON), Cardano (ADA), and Avalanche (AVAX) are also featured, alongside meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Floki (FLOKI), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE), and political meme coins like Official Trump (TRUMP) and Official Melania (MELANIA).
Newly acknowledged projects reflect the dynamic innovation within the sector. Assets like Celestia (TIA), Ethena (ENA), Sui (SUI), LayerZero (ZRO), Pyth Network (PYTH), and Ondo (ONDO) highlight emerging trends across DeFi, Layer-2 solutions, Real-World Assets (RWA), and blockchain infrastructure sectors.
Each crypto asset underwent a comprehensive evaluation process. Criteria included market capitalization, global trading volume, project reputation, security audits, developer credibility, real-world use cases, and compliance with Indonesian regulations. This rigorous vetting ensures that only credible and secure projects gain official recognition, ultimately aiming to protect investors and foster sustainable market growth.
The expansion of the legal asset list provides investors with broader choices while maintaining strong regulatory standards. Assets span various categories, including utility tokens, NFTs, and tokens representing financial assets, reflecting the diverse evolution of the digital economy.
CFX, acting as a Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) in Indonesia, plays a crucial role in overseeing crypto asset trading. With the official list now in place, investors and traders have a clear guide for compliant transactions. It’s important to note that trading crypto assets not listed is prohibited across all licensed exchanges in Indonesia, further reinforcing market integrity.
Meanwhile, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) reported that the value of crypto transactions in February 2025 reached IDR 32.78 trillion, a decrease from IDR 44.07 trillion in January. However, user growth remains strong, with crypto asset users increasing to 23.31 million people by the end of February, up from 22.92 million in January. This reflects the growing public interest and adoption of digital assets despite short-term market fluctuations.
