Indonesia's Crypto Industry Grows as Exchange Platforms Expand Services

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Indonesia’s crypto asset industry continues to show positive growth prospects amid ongoing global economic pressures. Amid high interest rates, US inflation, and geopolitical tensions in international markets, Indonesian interest in digital asset investment has continued to rise. Data from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) shows Indonesia’s crypto users reached 21.37 million as of March 2026, growing by 1.43% month-on-month. Observing this industry growth, TRIV Group, a crypto investment and trading platform, is strengthening its digital investment ecosystem through product innovations and strategic collaborations. Since the start of this year, TRIV has introduced new investment innovations, including the launch of its Tokenized Bond ETF product. The product provides access to Indonesian government bonds and US Treasury bonds. Bond instruments are considered more defensive than stocks or crypto assets. TRIV Group CEO Gabriel Rey said investor needs are evolving as awareness of the importance of investment diversification grows. ‘We are seeing more mature investor needs, with a greater awareness of the importance of diversification. With the Tokenized Bond ETF, TRIV users can now access US government bonds and global bonds more practically, transparently, and flexibly,’ he said in a written statement on Thursday (28 May 2026). In collaboration with Stockwise founder Andry Hakim, TRIV launched a free stock education and information platform called StockWave, accessible to the public via Instagram @stockwaveidn. According to Gabriel, this move is part of the company’s strategy to broaden investment education access, particularly for younger generations increasingly interested in understanding capital markets and digital assets. ‘Through this initiative, we aim to provide wider access to investment education for the public, especially younger generations keen to understand modern investment instruments,’ he added.
