The Financial Services Authority (OJK) stated that investor interest in cryptocurrency remains positive, despite the ongoing dynamics in the global market.

The Head of the Financial Technology Innovation Department, Digital Financial Assets, and Cryptocurrency Assets at OJK, Dino Milano Siregar, revealed that in January 2025, cryptocurrency transactions in Indonesia amounted to IDR 44.6 trillion.

Dino explained that some of the most traded cryptocurrencies in Indonesia include USDT, Bitcoin, XRP Coin, Solana, and Ethereum, which recorded transaction values of IDR 24.5 trillion. "This accounts for about 56 percent of the total transactions in January 2025, which reached IDR 44.6 trillion," he said during the Tokocrypto Indonesia Crypto Outlook 2025 event, which was reported on Saturday (February 8, 2025), quoted from Liputan6.com on (February 11).

Furthermore, the number of coins that can be traded in Indonesia reached 1,936, with a total of 22.9 million investors. Understanding of cryptocurrency is still considered relatively low in Indonesia. According to Dino, this has motivated OJK to continue educating and raising awareness about cryptocurrency investments and transactions.

"Based on surveys, only 31.8 percent of respondents understand the basic principles of cryptocurrency. Looking deeper, the number of people who have further knowledge or have made cryptocurrency investments is still relatively small. This is a concern for us to enhance education and awareness," Dino explained.

On this occasion, Dino also expressed OJK’s commitment to continue overseeing the development of Digital Financial Asset trading, as well as strengthening the stability of the financial sector and consumer protection.

"OJK is committed to strengthening the cryptocurrency ecosystem after this transition through collaboration that drives continuous innovation, adaptive regulation, and enhanced literacy and protection for investors, to create a safer and more transparent investment environment," Dino concluded.
