JAKARTA - The Ministry of Trade and the Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency (Bappebti) inaugurated PT Bursa Komoditi Nusantara or the Commodity Future Exchange (CFX) as the Indonesian crypto asset exchange.
The inauguration of the crypto asset exchange was carried out by the Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan, together with the Head of CoFTRA at the Four Seasons Hotel, Jakarta, Friday, July 28.
"Today, PT Bursa Komoditi Nusantara, I inaugurated as an Indonesian crypto asset futures exchange," said the Minister of Trade, at the inauguration of the crypto exchange, in Jakarta, Friday, July 28.
Zulhas, Zulkifli Hasan's nickname, said that with a complete ecosystem in the crypto industry, people will get security and comfort in investing in crypto assets.
“In order for the public to obtain the correct understanding of information about legal investments. If this industry is not regulated properly, it will have an impact on illegal business behavior that is detrimental to society. The bottom line is we are protecting the community," he said.
Moreover, continued Zulhas, this crypto investment is quite risky because of its high-risk high return nature. Therefore, it is necessary to collaborate with various parties to provide a sense of security to the community.
This crypto investment is high risk, but also high return. For this reason, I hope that crypto exchanges can work together or collaborate with various parties to maximize public protection," he said.
