Bittime Appreciates the Transformation of the Indonesian Crypto Asset Industry Throughout 2025

Jakarta, 23 December 2025 – Throughout 2025, the crypto asset industry in Indonesia has entered a new phase with various developments. Bittime, the leading crypto asset trading platform in Indonesia, expressed its full support for the achievements that reflect the transformation of the rapidly developing crypto asset sector into a more mature, credible and integrated ecosystem in the national financial system.

This transformation began with the transfer of the crypto asset supervisory body from Bappebti to the Financial Services Authority (OJK), which automatically changed the status of crypto assets to digital financial assets, in early 2025.

This change shows a strong signal that Indonesia views crypto assets with security standards that are equivalent to banking and capital markets. The government also made major adjustments to fiscal policy to create a more competitive investment ecosystem.

One of the most welcome changes is the adjustment of Value Added Tax (VAT) for purchasing crypto assets on local exchanges. This decision effectively reduces the burden of transaction costs for retail investors, so that investors can have more freedom in managing their portfolios.

Even though there are adjustments to the Income Tax (PPh) rate for sales transactions, this policy is still designed to support the local ecosystem. By imposing higher tax rates for those who transact on foreign platforms, the government is subtly encouraging people to use domestic exchanges that are registered and supervised by the OJK.

Bittime as one of the leading and safest crypto asset exchange platforms in Indonesia conveys its support and compliance with all forms of regulatory adjustments and provisions of the Indonesian crypto asset industry rules.

In line with this, Bittime has received official permission as a Digital Financial Asset Trader (PAKD) and is included in whitelist OJK for the official crypto asset exchange platform in Indonesia.

Bittime is committed to supporting the healthy, innovative and sustainable development of the Indonesian crypto asset industry. By strengthening security, compliance and education for all users to maximize the potential of digital assets in this digital economic era.

With advances in technology and increasingly clear regulations, Indonesians now have the opportunity to explore the world of digital finance with more confidence.

However, as is known, investing in crypto assets carries high risks. These include price fluctuations, loss of capital, liquidity, technology and regulatory risks for which the user is personally responsible. Because of this, it is very important to continue conducting research and discussions with trusted communities, one of which is the Bittime community.
