Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest economy, is set to launch its national digital asset exchange in June 2023. The previous launch date in December 2022 was delayed due to undisclosed reasons, but the new launch date has been set for June by the Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan which he shared during the “Crypto Literacy Month” event in Jakarta.
Indonesia’s virtual currency sector is bracing for a significant shift with the implementation of new laws that classify digital currencies as regulated financial securities.
Indonesia's Trade Ministry aims to launch an official crypto exchange before June 2023. The gov. is reviewing which companies meet all conditions to participate. Physical traders are currently facilitating trades while the exchange takes shape. Indonesia has 16m crypto investors.
