Indonesia’s crypto sector just crossed a pivotal milestone. The holding company behind the country’s official crypto exchange and custodian is preparing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) a move that marks the growing convergence of digital assets, capital markets, and institutional-grade infrastructure in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
A Strategic Signal from the Core of Indonesia’s Crypto Infrastructure
The company at the center of this development is PT Indokripto Koin Semesta Tbk, parent of Central Financial X (CFX) and Kustodian Koin Indonesia (ICC). CFX is Indonesia’s official crypto asset and commodity futures exchange, while ICC is a licensed custodian serving crypto clearing and settlement needs.
Indokripto plans to raise up to IDR 231.52 billion (~USD 14 million) by releasing 2.2 billion shares, or 15% of its enlarged capital, under the ticker COIN. The book building phase is set for June 23–25, with a price range of IDR 100–105 per share. The IPO is currently in the pre-effective registration stage and underwritten by PT Ciptadana Sekuritas Asia.
While the numbers matter, what matters more is what they represent: the formalization of crypto infrastructure under national capital market frameworks. This isn’t just a liquidity event—it’s a governance milestone.
Why This Matters for B2B Players in Web3
Indonesia’s crypto ecosystem has seen exponential user growth, now reaching 20.9 million registered users in 2024. But until recently, much of that growth was consumer-first and compliance-uncertain.
The launch of CFX and ICC initially licensed by Bappebti, and since January 2025 supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) marked a structural pivot. These are no longer just “crypto companies” but financial market infrastructure providers.
This IPO reinforces three signals that B2B players should not ignore:
- Institutional trust is now being baked in. Custodial security, regulated clearing, and exchange-level governance are not aspirational they’re live and being scaled.
- Capital market entry is possible for crypto infra. IPOs demand disclosures, financial maturity, and operational accountability. This sets a precedent for others in Web3 infra—especially staking platforms, RWA protocols, or custody/wallet tech.
- Compliance is no longer a barrier, it’s a bridge. With oversight transitioning from Bappebti to OJK, Indonesia is offering a sandbox for serious players, not just a tangle of red tape.

A Southeast Asian Market Taking Shape
This development doesn’t just matter for Indonesia. It sends a regional signal. As global exchanges, venture firms, and protocol teams consider Asia expansion, regulatory clarity is often the deciding factor.
Indokripto’s move shows that Indonesia isn’t just experimenting—it’s architecting. The IPO is proof that crypto infrastructure here is being taken seriously by capital markets, not just by early adopters. And with 31 active CFX members—including 19 licensed crypto asset traders and 7 futures brokers—the base is already operational.
It also opens the question: who’s next? As frameworks evolve and institutional-grade infrastructure becomes the norm, we may see new listings, new licenses, and new on-ramps for Web3 players that align with Indonesia’s national fintech direction.
