- Tokocrypto now has full power to operate in Indonesia's emerging cryptocurrency economy.
- The Indonesian crypto trade shows indicators of revival after failures in 2022 and 2023.

Tokocrypto, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and a part of the Binance group, has obtained a full licence as a Physical Crypto Asset Trader from Indonesia’s Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency. This move allows the exchange to operate legally within Indonesia's digital asset sector, which has been growing despite recent challenges.
Indonesia’s Crypto Market Recovery
Indonesia’s online money industry has faced ups and downs in past years. The sales peaked in 2021 with a net profit of $2.1 billion, a huge expansion from $400 million the year before. However, the goods sector saw a dismissal, with revenue dropping to $1.2 B in 2022 and falling further to $1 billion in 2023. Despite these challenges, the economy began rebounding in 2024, reaching $1.8 billion in financing.
At the same time, the number of crypto users in the country has climbed steadily. The consumer base increased from 9.9 million in 2021 to 28.52 M in 2024. This increase, combined with the competitiveness recovery, suggests a brighter future for electronic currencies in the country.
Tokocrypto’s Path to Authorisation
Tokocrypto started its journey to secure the PFAK permit in 2019 by registering as a Prospective Physical Crypto Asset Trader . Since then, the company has worked hard to meet the strict requirements set by Bappebti. The PFAK accreditation was granted under Bappebti Regulation No. 13 of 2022, which outlines the rules for physical crypto goods trading on futures exchanges in Indonesia.
The exchange is now the third exchange in Indonesia to receive this license. According to Tokocrypto’s CEO, Yudhono Rawis, there are still 35 other prospective crypto exchanges registered with the country’s futures regulator. This gives Tokocrypto the legal authority to operate fully within Indonesia's regulatory framework.
Binance’s Influence
Binance has played an important. role in Tokocrypto’s growth. In 2020, it made a noteworthy commitment to it as part of its strategy to expand in the Indonesian sales. Binance increased its stake in 2022, further strengthening its position in Tokocrypto’s operations.
Now that Tokocrypto is a subsidiary of Binance, the PFAK license allows the exchange to offer secure services to its users. This license also ensures Tokocrypto's operations are clear and trustworthy, which is important for gaining a buyer's confidence.
