Indonesia emerges as one of the world’s leading crypto markets, says report
— Indonesia has become one of the world’s top 10 crypto markets, thanks to large-scale retail adoption, accelerating on-chain activity and a major regulatory shift that puts digital assets under full financial oversight.
According to the 7th edition of the Indonesia Crypto & Web3 2025 report recently released by Indonesia Crypto Network, Indonesia now ranks 4th in Asia-Pacific for on-chain transaction value and sits alongside India, South Korea and Vietnam as the leading driver of regional crypto adoption. The country is home to over 19 million active crypto users, making it one of the largest retail-focused crypto markets in the world.
The report combines nationwide primary survey data with on-chain analysis, transaction statistics, and regulatory review to examine how the Indonesian crypto market has evolved from a fast-growing retail phenomenon to a structured, institution-ready ecosystem.
“Indonesia is no longer just a high adoption market, it is becoming one of the most operationally complete crypto ecosystems in Southeast Asia,” the report notes, citing regulatory clarity, market infrastructure and user behavior as key differentiators.
Regulatory change reshapes the market in 2025
A major turning point highlighted in the report is the transition of crypto oversight to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in January 2025. The move reclassified crypto from a commodity to a digital financial instrument, introducing unified supervision, clearer compliance standards, and formal regulation of crypto derivatives.
Since the transition:
- Licensed Crypto Exchanges Increased Sharply to 25 Platforms Nationwide
- Regulated Crypto Derivatives Trading Reached Rp86.25 Trillion in September 2025
- Crypto-Related Tax Revenue Reached Rs1.76 Trillion in October 2025
- This regulatory clarity has coincided with a surge in market activity. Indonesia’s annual crypto trading volume rebounded to 650.6 trillion rupiah (US$39.0 billion) in 2024, with 446.77 trillion rupiah (US$26.8 billion) recorded year-to-date in 2025.
Large-scale retail, no speculation
Unlike many markets, Indonesia’s crypto economy remains largely retail-driven, but not very speculative. Survey data shows that 58.2% of users hold cryptocurrencies as a long-term investment, while only 20.2% primarily engage in short-term trading.
Crypto awareness is also exceptionally high. 93% of Indonesians surveyed are aware of cryptocurrencies, but the report identifies a critical growth gap: around 7% remain out of the market despite being familiar with cryptocurrencies, mainly due to a lack of understanding rather than a lack of interest.
“This creates one of the largest latent crypto audiences in the world, education, not incentives, will define the next phase of adoption,” the report states.
What’s next: stablecoins, institutions and education
The report also highlights expanding market infrastructure, potential new participants in self-regulatory organizations (SROs), and growing institutional involvement in blockchain and tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) as signals of Indonesia’s next phase of growth.
The full report, the 7th edition of Indonesia Crypto Network’s Indonesia Crypto & Web3 Report, provides a comprehensive analysis of user behavior, regulation, market structure and future opportunities in Southeast Asia’s largest crypto market.
Looking ahead to 2026, the report identifies stablecoins, institutional participation and market education as the next inflection points in Indonesia’s crypto ecosystem. Several rupee-pegged stablecoins are already in circulation, while other initiatives are passing through the OJK regulatory sandbox, highlighting how product deployment is closely linked to regulatory readiness and local infrastructure.
Beyond overall growth, the data highlights Indonesia as a market where entry outcomes are determined by regulatory navigation, user education and distribution partnerships rather than scale alone.
The 7th edition of the Indonesia Crypto & Web3 2025 report is increasingly used by global exchanges, Web3 builders and financial institutions to assess market readiness, entry risks and localization strategies in Southeast Asia’s largest crypto economy.
