According to ChainCatcher, Indonesia has not yet finalized the transfer of cryptocurrency regulation, supervision, and oversight authority from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti) to the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Since 2018, Bappebti has been responsible for regulating crypto assets. The transition, originally scheduled to be completed by January 12, 2025, has been postponed due to a lack of supportive government regulations.
The OJK is expected to create a more transparent regulatory environment that meets international standards. It plans to introduce clearer rules for trading, taxation, and the operation of cryptocurrency exchanges, areas that were previously managed by Bappebti with insufficient regulatory oversight.
OJK Chairman Mahendra Siregar stated that discussions and preparations for the regulatory transition are actively underway.
