JAKARTA - PT Pintu Kemana Saja (PINTU), a crypto asset investment platform that is officially listed in Indonesia, is committed to supporting the ongoing efforts to secure investment and the domestic crypto asset ecosystem.

This support is provided by PINTU through participation in an event entitled Advanced Asset Tracing & Recovery Workshop which was initiated by the Indonesian National Police's Anti-Corruption Crime Eradication Corps (Kortastipikdor Polri) together with the International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) which is under the auspices of the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ). In this session, PINTU was present with the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis Center (PPATK) and other Digital Financial Asset Traders (PAKD) namely Indodax.

The Directorate of Information Regulation, Development, and Analysis of the OJK's IAKD, Tommy Elvani Siregar, revealed that the OJK's regulatory principles continue to develop where we complete three things, namely risk management, governance, and consumer protection.

"Then there are several obligations related to Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Prevention (APU-PPT) and Market Conduct. In the future we are making a POJK related to governance and risk management in depth. We want to strengthen and develop the crypto market while prioritizing consumer protection," he said, Friday, February 6.

Meanwhile, PPATK Legal Issues Analyst Syahrijal Syakur revealed that his party at PPATK, together with OJK, then law enforcement friends, from BIN, BNPT, Densus 88, Prosecutor's Office, Police, and Bappebti, in 2021 have compiled a Sectoral Risk Assessment (SRA) namely risk assessment on sectoral, especially in the financial sector which uses new technology (New Payment Method).

"That is one of the obligations that we must fulfill in order to comply with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendation. This is also beneficial for the industry and also for law enforcement friends to mitigate the risk of using new technology," he explained.

Bakti Yudha, Financial Crime Compliance Sr. Manager PINTU in his presentation session explained PINTU's role as PAKD in encouraging and creating security in transacting crypto assets.

"PINTU consistently applies and implements the provisions and regulations set by OJK, PPATK, as well as international standards from the FATF related to Anti-Money Laundering and Prevention of Terrorism Financing (APU-PPT), Prevention of Terrorism Financing, and Prevention of Financing of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation. Currently, PINTU has a special team and system that operates 24 hours a day to monitor crypto and fiat asset transactions that occur in the PINTU application.

"In addition, in order to strengthen the mitigation of risks to suspicious financial transactions that continue to develop, PINTU periodically reviews and refines internal systems and implements layered cyber security systems to ensure the ability to identify and mitigate various potential illegal activities optimally," he explained.

Based on the TRM Labs report in 2025, global illegal activities involving crypto assets recorded a value of $158 billion, an increase of 145 percent compared to 2024. The increase was driven by various categories of criminal activities, including sanctions violations, entities on the blocked list, funds from hacking, and illegal goods and services trading.

"Based on the results of monitoring various cases faced, fraud methods such as social engineering and phishing are still the most common types of fraud. In practice, users are often deceived into clicking certain links through mobile devices that lead to the leakage of personal data and credentials. In addition, fraud in the name of PINTU by irresponsible parties is still found. Responding to this, PINTU mitigates risks by strengthening the transaction monitoring system, improving cyber security capabilities, and implementing the Know Your Customer (KYC) process and transaction monitoring system in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Services Authority. Not only from the system side, PINTU is also actively educating the public and continues to coordinate with law enforcement. We believe that these various initiatives can suppress and fight illegal activity practices in the crypto asset industry, so that the crypto ecosystem in Indonesia is increasingly safe and trusted by the public," concluded Bakti.
