JAKARTA - The Indonesia Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (ICDX) reported the volume of digital trading of the physical gold market on ICDX at 58,654.322 grams in 2025 or jumped 25.20 percent compared to 2024 with a transaction volume of 46,849.357 grams.

Meanwhile, the value of digital gold market transactions at ICDX in 2025 was recorded at IDR 115.6 trillion, growing 101.04 percent compared to 2024 with a transaction value of IDR 57.5 trillion.

"Indonesian society seems to be increasingly interested in buying physical gold digitally through the futures exchange," said ICDX Director Nursalam, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, January 22.

He said that the increase in public interest in buying physical gold digitally through the futures exchange was due to the influence of a number of factors.

First is that people are more practical to buy gold because they don't have to come to the gold sales outlet, but just use the application on the smartphone.

The second is the positive impact of digitization that touches all sectors of life, including in buying gold.

Finally, the younger generation who have worked and have their own income have started to invest in gold digitally with values according to their abilities.

Based on this positive trend, he continued, ICDX hopes that transaction volume in 2026 can continue to grow by 30 percent.

His party is committed to always improving services to stakeholders, and believes that digital trading of physical gold can be a solution for people who want to invest in gold in a more practical way.

"We also ensure that this mechanism is safe, where in this trade it is supervised by the government, in this case Bappebti (Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency), a clearing institution that acts as a guarantor institution and settlement of transactions, as well as a depository institution that plays a role in storing physical gold that is traded digitally", said Nursalam.

According to the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business Communication of the Islamic University of Nusantara Bandung, Yoyok Prasetyo, the increase in public interest to invest in gold digitally is a positive thing in the world of investment in Indonesia, because it is an alternative to enriching the investment portfolio.

"Furthermore, the homework of stakeholders in this ecosystem is to continue to socialize and educate the public, especially regarding transaction security. This is important, because the public sees the security aspect of transactions as an important thing in their investment," said Yoyok.
