Indonesia crypto transactions rise 31.96% to Rp30.56 trillion in September

Indonesia recorded Rp30.56 trillion in crypto asset transactions in September 2026, a monthly increase of 31.96 per cent, according to the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Digital financial asset derivatives transactions reached Rp5.8 trillion, up 27.19 per cent from the previous month.

At a virtual press conference on 5 November 2026, Adi Budiarso, OJK’s chief executive for the supervision of financial sector technological innovation, digital financial assets and crypto assets, said consumer confidence in the digital financial asset ecosystem, including crypto, had shown positive developments despite transaction fluctuations. Digital consumer accounts rose 1.29 per cent month on month to 23.51 million in September.

Adi said a cybersecurity incident involving a global crypto platform had attracted public attention. OJK was continuing to monitor developments and their effects on crypto assets in Indonesia. The regulator said it had established governance standards through OJK regulations to strengthen cyber resilience, and urged consumers to remain calm but vigilant and use licensed providers.

On compliance, OJK imposed administrative sanctions on three financial sector technology innovation providers and two digital financial asset and crypto providers for breaches in the sector. The measures comprised two activity suspensions, one administrative fine and 18 written warnings. OJK said the sanctions were intended to encourage stronger governance and prudence among businesses.

Since OJK Regulation No. 3 of 2024 took effect, the regulator has received 387 consultation requests from prospective regulatory sandbox participants. By October 2026, seven participants had passed the sandbox. Their business models covered gold tokenisation, securities tokenisation, property ownership tokenisation, stablecoins, non-trading custody and crypto management.
