Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) reported that crypto asset transactions reached approximately $31–$32 billion in 2025, while the number of registered investors rose to 20.19 million.
The figures were disclosed during a parliamentary briefing in Jakarta on Wednesday, January 21, 2026. Although the value of the transaction has decreased from IDR 650 trillion in 2024 to IDR 482.23 trillion in 2025, the public interest in digital assets continues to increase.
Hasan Fauzi, a board member of OJK, explained that the younger generation of Indonesians, particularly those in the working age group, is the key to this increasing growth.
The number of digital asset buyers is increasing, and this is huge. Fauzi said that most of the buyers are young or very young.

The data indicate that the Indonesian crypto market is shifting from a lot of short-term trading to more people buying on a daily basis. Most people view it as a long-term investment.
Although the number of transactions decreased, the total tax revenue from the crypto industry increased to around $45-$47 million by November 2025. In Indonesian rupiah, this is IDR 719.61 billion in digital asset taxes.
The increase in tax revenue indicates that better regulation and clearer reporting are already having an effect. OJK is hoping that the figures will encourage traders and exchanges to comply with licensing regulations and pay taxes.
In January 2025, a major regulatory shift occurred, transferring the regulation of digital assets to OJK, and it shifted from a commodity to a financial instrument. This marked the beginning of a more orderly market system, with supervision and rules for crypto derivatives.
The Indonesian digital assets and Web3 scene is expanding rapidly. A report titled the Indonesia Crypto & Web3 Report 2025 by the Indonesia digital asset network indicates that Indonesia is ranked in the top 10 crypto markets globally and the fourth largest in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of on-chain transaction value.
Over 19 million active users have been recorded. The number of licensed exchanges increased to 25, and the total value of crypto derivatives trading that is regulated reached IDR 86.25 trillion as of September 2025.

The digital assets tax revenue reached IDR 1.76 trillion as of October. According to survey data, 58.2% of users hold digital assets for the long term, and 20.2% of users trade for the short term.
Awareness is high, with 93% of Indonesians aware of its existence. As reported, there is a market opportunity in the remaining 7%, which will be driven by education rather than rewards.
Indonesia proves that with people and retail adoption, clear rules, and tax compliance, the digital asset market can continue to grow even if the number of transactions goes down.
