According to ShibDaily, a recent report from the Indonesian Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti) highlights that over 60% of crypto investors in Indonesia are aged 30 years and younger. The report specifies that 26.9% of these investors are between 18 and 24 years old, while 35.1% are in the 25 to 30 age range. This trend suggests a growing interest in digital assets among the younger population in Indonesia. Bappebti's head, Dr. Ir. Kasan, MM, stressed the significance of financial literacy for young investors, emphasizing that understanding crypto is crucial for navigating the market and avoiding financial risks.

The Indonesia Millennial and Gen Z Report (IMGR) 2024 supports this trend, showing that 38% of Millennials and 41% of Gen Z individuals regularly budget their finances, prioritizing saving and investing. Additionally, 32% of Millennials and 26% of Gen Z allocate parts of their income specifically for investments. In response to the increasing number of young investors and the evolving digital asset landscape, Indonesian authorities are enhancing oversight to ensure a secure investment environment. Bappebti recently extended the compliance deadline for crypto exchanges to obtain the Physical Crypto Asset Traders (PFAK) license until late November 2024. This extension is part of Bappebti's commitment to protect investors and maintain market integrity under Regulation No. 9 of 2024. This marks the third amendment to Bappebti's framework for physical crypto asset trading since 2021, aiming to create a safer environment for investors in the rapidly changing crypto market.

A Chainalysis report from last year noted that Indonesia is a global leader in cryptocurrency value, with one of the fastest-growing markets and a year-over-year growth rate of nearly 200%.
