Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 PT Central Finansial X (CFX), the first\ncrypto-asset exchange licensed and supervised by the Financial Services\nAuthority (OJK), will cut transaction fees by 50 per cent, from 0.02 per\ncent to 0.01 per cent per transaction, effective 1 October 2026.<\/p>\n
The fee reduction is expected to encourage activity and increase\nliquidity in domestic crypto-asset trading.<\/p>\n
CFX President Director Subani said in a statement in Jakarta on\nWednesday that the adoption of crypto assets in Indonesia continued to\ndevelop positively despite a correction in global crypto markets. This\nwas reflected in the recovery in crypto-asset trading transaction values\nin the third quarter of 2026, following a correction in the first half\nof the year.<\/p>\n
Transaction values on the CFX Crypto Exchange rose for three\nconsecutive months, from Rp15.2 trillion in July 2026 to Rp17.6 trillion\nin August and Rp22.1 trillion in September.<\/p>\n
Recovery was also evident in crypto-asset derivatives trading.\nDerivatives transaction values rose from Rp3.75 trillion in July to\nRp5.98 trillion in August and Rp7.32 trillion in September 2026.<\/p>\n
September\u2019s derivatives transaction value was therefore almost double\nJuly\u2019s.<\/p>\n
In terms of the consumer base, OJK data showed that the number of\ncrypto-asset consumer accounts reached 22.93 million as of July 2026, up\n39 per cent year on year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe recovery in the third quarter is a positive signal for the\nmarket, in both spot and derivatives trading, particularly after a\nchallenging first half. We hope this recovery momentum continues so the\nindustry can grow stronger,\u201d Subani said.<\/p>\n
As an OJK-licensed and supervised crypto-asset exchange, CFX is also\ncontinuing to strengthen its role in safeguarding market integrity and\nsecurity.<\/p>\n
By providing orderly, fair and efficient trading, CFX and other\nindustry participants \u2014 from digital financial asset traders to clearing\nand custodian institutions \u2014 are working to ensure consumers can trade\nin a protected and accountable ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Subani said the enactment of Law No.\u00a04 of 2026 had also opened up\nopportunities for the development of the crypto-asset industry,\nincluding through the development of derivative products.<\/p>\n
CFX, he added, was ready to support this development by providing\nreliable trading infrastructure to ensure the industry\u2019s growth remained\norderly, fair and efficient.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a more efficient exchange fee structure and a more mature\nregulatory climate, we hope Indonesia\u2019s crypto-asset market will\ncontinue to grow more healthily for the rest of this year. Consistent\ngrowth in the number of consumers is a positive sign that public\ninterest in crypto assets remains strong, even amid the market\ncorrection,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that CFX was working to ensure the industry\u2019s growth was\nsupported by reliable infrastructure and a healthy trading\nenvironment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are optimistic that, with collaboration across the ecosystem,\nIndonesia\u2019s crypto-asset industry can grow sustainably,\u201d Subani\nconcluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/crypto-exchange-cfx-cuts-transaction-fees-to-0-01-per-cent-1791982285", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
