Indonesian regulator bans firms from facilitating crypto sales
On Tuesday, Indonesia's financial regulator (OJK) warned that financial firms would not be allowed to offer and facilitate the sale of cryptocurrencies.
Financial firms may not offer and facilitate sales of crypto
In a statement posted on Instagram, the regulator said it strictly prohibits financial service providers from using, marketing, and facilitating the trading of cryptocurrencies. It also warned that the value of crypto assets often fluctuates and that people buying into digital assets should fully understand the risks.Currently, Indonesia only allows crypto assets to be sold on the commodity exchange. Trading is overseen by the trade ministry and the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency, not by the OJK. The ministry is currently supporting establishing a separate exchange for digital assets, the Digital Futures Exchange, which officials say will launch in the first quarter.
Crypto is becoming more popular in Indonesia
According to data from Triple-A, Indonesia has the seventh-largest crypto user base, behind Brazil and Pakistan. It is estimated that 7.2 million Indonesians own cryptocurrencies, while according to the Indonesian Blockchain Association, the number of crypto owners in Indonesia in July 2021 is 7.4 million people, up 85% from 2020.It was already clear that citizens cannot legally use cryptocurrencies for payments in the country. Still, earlier this year, the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI) issued a whitelist of legal crypto assets for trading in Indonesia. This whitelist consists of 229 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, Polkadot, Cardano, and Dogecoin, which can be traded on registered exchanges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team.

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked.
