CFX Crypto Exchange and OJK Provide Education on Crypto Assets to Students of the UI Faculty of Economics and Business

JAKARTA - PT Central Finansial X (CFX), as a pioneer of a crypto asset exchange that has been licensed and supervised by the OJK, emphasizes the urgency of education regarding digital financial assets, especially crypto assets, for Indonesia's younger generation.

The results of a study by the Economic and Social Research Institute of the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia (LPEM FEB UI) in 2025 revealed that the majority of digital financial asset owners are dominated by the age group under 35 years old. This phenomenon places the younger generation as one of the drivers of the adoption of the national digital financial ecosystem in the future.

In the face of this development, awareness of literacy is the key to ensuring that growth can run sustainably and prioritize the aspects of security and consumer protection. Recognizing this crucial role, the CFX Crypto Exchange presents CFX Connect, a strategic literacy platform that bridges regulators, industry players, and the younger generation to collaborate to create a safer, more transparent, and more trusted digital financial asset ecosystem.

In the inaugural edition in 2026, CFX Connect carries the theme "Building Trust in the Digital Financial Asset Economy: The Role of Regulation, Market Infrastructure, and Literacy through the Young Generation" which is held at the University of Indonesia, Depok.

This discussion presents panelists from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), academics and digital industry experts; as a strategic initiative to dissect the dynamics of digital financial assets in depth and answer the challenges of education in this new era. The involvement of hundreds of students from various faculties at the University of Indonesia in this forum makes this program an open discussion space that allows for direct and transparent exchange of insights.

In this activity, the Chief Executive of the Financial Sector Innovation Technology Supervisor, Digital Financial Assets and Crypto Assets, Adi Budiarso, was also present, presenting points about the importance of literacy in crypto asset transactions,

"The main task of all of us here as regulators, business actors and academics is not only about accelerating the adoption rate, but ensuring that consumers do not just "follow the trend" or be carried away by FOMO, as well as obtaining adequate protection. We don't want the market to become a pure speculation arena, where people are only tempted by the "get rich quick" narrative without understanding the risks involved," he said in a written statement, Friday, April 10.

Meanwhile, the President Director of the CFX Crypto Exchange, Subani, said that the CFX Crypto Exchange held CFX Connect as a form of cross-sector collaboration in improving literacy related to crypto assets to students, to oversee the growth of the crypto asset industry in Indonesia.

"Behind the great potential, the digital financial asset industry such as crypto assets also faces a number of dynamics that need to be managed wisely. Education is crucial to building an ecosystem that is not only innovative, but also safe, reliable, and sustainable for all stakeholders and consumers of crypto assets," he explained.

Literacy is important to ensure that industry growth is in line with public understanding. CFX Connect is here to encourage dialogue and education so that every public participation in the crypto market is based on fundamental knowledge, not just impulsive actions due to FOMO to invest in crypto assets.

The Manager of Student Affairs of the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Indonesia, Dr. Anna Amalyah Agus, S.E., M.B.A. said, his party fully supports and is committed to accompanying students in the right and directed learning process.

"We are also open to working together and collaborating with regulators such as OJK and Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO), so that this development remains within the right, supervised, and sustainable corridor. Hopefully, this initiative can have a positive impact and be the first step in presenting a Central Investment Center based on cryptocurrencies at the University of Indonesia, especially at FEB UI as an innovation hub that not only encourages literacy, but also experimentation and real implementation in the digital financial ecosystem in Indonesia," he explained.

On the same occasion, the CFX Crypto Exchange also held the CFX Lab competition, as part of the CFX Connect education and literacy activities. In this competition, participants who are students of the University of Indonesia act as a team of digital financial market strategy analysts who are asked to prepare a strategic study for the management of the CFX Crypto Exchange as a regulated digital financial asset exchange in Indonesia.

As a form of appreciation for the best innovations and talents, one selected group of winners will receive an exclusive award from the CFX Crypto Exchange. Winners are entitled to take home the prize in the form of USDT as well as a valuable opportunity to participate in the Internship program in the CFX Crypto Exchange ecosystem.

"The presence of CFX Connect and CFX Lab marks a new step in the journey of digital financial literacy at the national level. The CFX Crypto Exchange believes that the collaboration forged today will be a solid foundation for the future of quality and integrity Indonesian digital financial assets," concluded Subani.
