Indonesian investors\u2019 interest in global assets continues to rise\nalongside increasing awareness of the importance of portfolio\ndiversification amidst global economic dynamics. Geopolitical\nuncertainty, rapid technological advancements, and shifts in monetary\npolicy are driving more investors to look for opportunities outside the\ndomestic market, including shares in Artificial Intelligence (AI)\ncompanies in the United Kingdom and the United States.<\/p>\n
Companies such as NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon, Alphabet,\nand Meta are attracting investor attention as the primary drivers of\ninnovation in the AI industry. However, the characteristics of investing\nin the US market differ from what many Indonesian investors are\naccustomed to. While stocks in Indonesia generally offer annual dividend\nyields of around 3%\u20137%, most AI companies in the US distribute annual\ndividends of less than 1%, with some not distributing dividends at all\nas they prioritise reinvestment to drive business growth. This\ndifference indicates that dividend yields for US AI companies can be\nmore than ten times lower than the dividend characteristics commonly\nfound in the Indonesian stock market.<\/p>\n
Recognising these characteristics, Bittime has introduced the \u2018Earn\u2019\nfeature on Tokenized US Stocks, making it the first licensed crypto\nasset exchange in Indonesia to offer such a feature. Through Tokenized\nUS Stocks, users can gain exposure to global AI company shares in the\nform of digital assets.<\/p>\n
Through the newly launched Earn feature, users can obtain rewards of\nup to 7% APR, subject to terms and conditions. Unlike stock dividends,\nwhich are generally distributed quarterly or annually, rewards in the\nEarn feature are distributed daily. The feature is also designed without\na lock-up period, allowing users to maintain flexibility in managing\ntheir assets.<\/p>\n
Bittime\u2019s Chief Operating Officer, Ryan Lymn, stated that the rising\ninterest in global AI stocks shows that Indonesian investors are\nbecoming increasingly open to cross-border investment opportunities. \u201cWe\nsee more Indonesian investors wanting exposure to global AI stocks,\nparticularly those listed on US exchanges. However, there are\ndifferences in characteristics between the Indonesian and US markets,\nespecially regarding annual dividend distributions. Therefore, we are\nintroducing Earn on Tokenized US Stocks so that the experience of\ninvesting in global assets becomes more relevant to the needs of\nIndonesian investors,\u201d Ryan said in an official statement on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n
Ryan explained that tokenisation opens up more flexible access to\nglobal investment through 24\/7 trading, more affordable investment\namounts, and competitive transaction costs. He noted that the Earn\nfeature complements this experience while maintaining exposure to the\ngrowth of global AI companies.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is not only to open access to global AI companies but also\nto provide an investment experience that is more relevant to Indonesian\ninvestors. We believe tokenisation will be one of the important\ninnovations that expands public access to global assets through a safe,\ntransparent, and licensed platform,\u201d Ryan explained.<\/p>\n
As part of the launch, Bittime is also offering a special programme\nfor new users during the period of 1\u201331 July 2026. New users who perform\ntheir first Tokenized US Stocks transaction with a minimum of Rp 500,000\nhave the opportunity to receive Tokenized NVIDIA (NVDAX) as a prize,\nsubject to terms and conditions.<\/p>\n
Through this innovation, Bittime hopes that more members of the\nIndonesian public can access investment opportunities in global AI\ncompanies through blockchain technology. The presence of Tokenized US\nStocks with the Earn feature is expected to serve as a bridge for\nIndonesian investors to participate in the growth of the global AI\nindustry through a safe, transparent, and regulated platform.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/interest-in-global-ai-assets-rises-bittime-launches-new-feature-1782899419", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
