JAKARTA - Upbit Indonesia, as one of Indonesia's leading crypto asset exchange platforms, also supports the 2025 Crypto Literacy Month (BLK) initiative organized by the Indonesian Blockchain Association (ABI) ASPAKRINDO and the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

As part of this educational series, Upbit follows the first roadshow to take place in Medan, to be precise at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of North Sumatra (FEB USU). With the theme "Unlocking Crypto 2025: Investment Transformation in the Digital Age," this activity highlights how crypto assets are increasingly becoming an investment choice for millennials, Gen Z, and Alpha.

Furthermore, the roadshow continued to Pontianak on February 20, 2025, which was held at the Theater Building 1 of Tanjungpura University. With the theme "Local Opportunities and the Impact of Globalization," this session discusses the rapid growth in crypto asset adoption in Indonesia, which is reflected in the increase in the number of investors reaching 22.9 million accounts as of December 2024 according to CoFTRA data.

Pontianak is a strategic city in the development of the crypto ecosystem, with discussions on how digital assets can play a role in a wider financial system and its regulatory implications.
