Crypto asset industry strengthens literacy to boost investor growth

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Crypto asset industry players are strengthening public literacy to increase investor numbers amid the growth of the national crypto asset market. Indodax CEO William Sutanto stressed that education is the most important factor in supporting the increasingly developing digital asset industry in Indonesia. “The growth in the number of investors must be balanced with an improvement in the quality of literacy,” he said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) recorded that the number of national crypto asset investors as of April 2026 had reached 21.7 million users, growing more than 50 percent compared to the same period the previous year, which only reached 14.16 million investors. According to him, this indicates that the growth of Indonesia’s crypto asset industry continues to show a positive trend, prompting domestic crypto industry players to enhance crypto asset literacy and national crypto asset market growth. William stated that the development of Indonesia’s crypto asset industry shows that digital assets are increasingly accepted as part of the modern financial ecosystem. However, this growth also needs to be supported by strong collaboration between industry players, regulators, communities, and the public. “We will continue to provide services that are safe, transparent, and compliant with regulations, while expanding various educational programmes so that more Indonesians can understand crypto assets and blockchain technology more wisely,” he said. Through various educational programmes targeting students, communities, and business actors, the company continues to promote public understanding of crypto assets and blockchain technology as part of Indonesia’s digital economic transformation. In relation to these efforts, Indodax received two awards at the Anugerah Ksatria CFX 2026 event organised by PT Central Finansial X (CFX) as part of the CFX Crypto Conference 2026 series on Monday (8/6). The awards were the Arjuna Award for Literacy & Education Commitment, given to exchange members who are committed and considered active and consistent in promoting crypto asset literacy and education to the public, and the Bima Award for the Highest Achievement in Growing the Crypto Asset Market, awarded to exchange members who have contributed significantly to the growth of the national crypto asset market. “The award in the field of education holds very important meaning for us. The crypto asset industry can grow healthily if the public understands the benefits, risks, and how to invest responsibly,” William said. Going forward, he added, the company will continue to strengthen education, innovation, and good governance to support the creation of a more mature and globally competitive Indonesian digital asset ecosystem.
