Upbit Indonesia believes crypto assets may be an option for\ninvestment diversification for Indonesians amid the growth of the\ndigital economy and wider access to regulated trading platforms. In a\nstatement reported by Investor Daily on Saturday (24 October 2026), the\ncompany urged investors to understand the nature of the assets, manage\nrisk and align decisions with their financial goals and capacity.<\/p>\n
Global crypto markets are influenced by a range of factors, including\ninflation data, central bank interest-rate policies and international\nfinancial market sentiment. Upbit Indonesia said institutional\ninvestors\u2019 interest in crypto assets remained strong, while the number\nof domestic investors continued to grow alongside the development of a\ntrading ecosystem overseen by regulators.<\/p>\n
Resna Raniadi, chief executive of Upbit Indonesia, emphasised that\ncrypto assets have different characteristics and risk levels from other\ninvestment instruments. Understanding the selected asset is an important\nconsideration before investors decide how to invest.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important thing is not simply to look at the potential\nreturns, but to understand the asset being chosen and its risks, and to\nensure that investment decisions are suited to each person\u2019s financial\ncircumstances and goals,\u201d Resna said.<\/p>\n
Crypto prices can change significantly in a short period because of\nglobal market conditions, investor sentiment, technological developments\nand regulatory changes. Investors should therefore conduct their own\nresearch and consider the possibility of losses before allocating\nfunds.<\/p>\n
Upbit Indonesia also highlighted the importance of portfolio\nmanagement to reduce reliance on a single investment instrument.\nAdvances in blockchain technology are expanding the use of digital\nassets beyond trading, while participation by retail and institutional\ninvestors is contributing to the industry\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n
Resna said investment opportunities should be assessed alongside the\nrisks involved. She stressed the importance of staying calm during\nmarket fluctuations and avoiding emotionally driven decisions.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestment potential should always be considered together with the\nrisks. When markets fluctuate, investors need to remain calm, avoid\nmaking decisions based on emotion, and set their investment allocation\naccording to their risk profile and financial capacity,\u201d Resna said.<\/p>\n
When managing funds, investors are advised to understand the assets\nthey choose, diversify and set allocations according to their financial\nmeans. Money needed for essential expenses and borrowed funds should not\nbe used for crypto investment, as asset values can change sharply.<\/p>\n
Upbit Indonesia encouraged the public to consider the fundamentals of\ndigital assets, including their technology, functions, price drivers and\nindustry risks, rather than simply following short-term price\nmovements.<\/p>\n
Resna also highlighted the need to improve financial literacy as the\nnumber of crypto investors in Indonesia grows. She said understanding\nthe characteristics and risks of these assets was an important part of\nmaking informed investment decisions with a long-term outlook.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe growth in the number of crypto investors in Indonesia needs to\nbe accompanied by a better understanding. We encourage the public to\nview crypto investment from a long-term, knowledge-based perspective.\nThe better investors understand the assets and their risks, the better\nthe quality of the investment decisions they can make,\u201d Resna said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/upbit-indonesia-emphasises-risk-management-in-crypto-investing-1792853424", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
