OJK Tightens Digital Asset Oversight Amid Market Growth

[madmax]

OJK Regulation No. 23/2025 establishes stricter rules for crypto exchanges in Indonesia:

Trading in unregistered assets is prohibited.

Digital asset derivatives require prior OJK approval.

Platforms must implement margin mechanisms via segregated funds.

Consumers must pass knowledge tests before accessing derivatives.

These measures aim to protect investors, ensure regulatory compliance, and reinforce Indonesia’s position in the global top 10 for crypto adoption, according to Chainalysis’ 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index.
