JAKARTA - In commemoration of the 2026 Crypto Literacy Month (BLK), Upbit Indonesia participated in a series of educational roadshows held in Solo and Yogyakarta. This activity is part of the industry's collaborative efforts to increase public understanding of crypto assets, in line with the rapid growth in the number of investors in Indonesia, especially from the younger generation.

Crypto Literacy Month is an annual initiative initiated by the Indonesian Blockchain Association (ABI) together with regulators to strengthen public literacy of the digital asset ecosystem. This year, a series of activities will be held again in several cities with a more inclusive educational approach, reaching students, communities, and the general public.

Gen Z and Crypto Literacy: Between Trends and Understanding

The activity in Solo, which took place at Sebelas Maret University (UNS), had the theme "Gen Z & Crypto: Financial Speculation or Just Following the Trend?". This discussion featured a number of panelists from various stakeholders, including. Shania Lebang (Government Relations Upbit Indonesia), Teofilus Yusanto (Business Lead Triv), and Indriana (Business Development & Research Lead Tokocrypto), Bagas Satriadi (Director Indonesia Coin Custodian), and supported by regulators and academics.

The discussion highlighted the increasing participation of young generations in crypto investments which is driven by the ease of access to information and the influence of social media. However, behind this high adoption, there are still challenges in terms of understanding risk and rational investment decision-making.

Upbit Indonesia sees that this phenomenon is one of the main focuses in promoting literacy. Not only providing access to crypto assets, Upbit also strives to provide sustainable education through collaboration with regulators, communities, and industry players.

Resna Raniadi, CEO of Upbit Indonesia and Deputy Secretary General of the Indonesian Blockchain Association (ABI), said that today's young generation has access to a very wide range of information, but the challenge is how this information can be processed into a complete understanding.

"At Upbit, we see literacy as the main foundation so that users not only participate, but also understand the risks and potential of crypto assets more comprehensively," he said in a written statement, Monday, April 27.

Assessing the Direction of the Crypto Market in 2026 in the Midst of Uncertainty

The activities then continued in Yogyakarta through a discussion entitled "Takar Kripto 2026: Supercycle or even Bearish?" which was held at the Duta Wacana Christian University (UKDW). This discussion featured panelists from regulators and industry players, including Ludy Arlianto (OJK), Teofilus Yusanto (Business Lead Development Triv), Pradipta Rohimone (CTO Mobee), Indriana (Business Development & Research Lead Tokocrypto) and Lukas Lauw (Director of CFX).

This forum discusses various possible directions for the crypto market in 2026, ranging from the potential for growth driven by institutional adoption to the risk of volatility which is still a major challenge. A number of views indicate that the crypto market is beginning to move towards a more mature phase with a focus on fundamentals, but is still influenced by global macroeconomic conditions and market dynamics.

Through this discussion, Upbit Indonesia emphasized the importance of a wiser approach in looking at crypto assets, not only as a short-term opportunity, but as part of the future digital financial ecosystem which is still in its developing stage. Education is the key so that the public can understand various market scenarios and make more rational investment decisions.

Resna Raniadi emphasized that crypto literacy is a shared responsibility.

"Crypto literacy cannot be done by one party alone. It requires collaboration between all stakeholders, including regulators, industry players, and the community to ensure that people are not only interested, but also understand how this ecosystem works," he explained.

Upbit Indonesia's participation in BLK 2026 reflects the company's commitment to supporting the growth of a healthier and sustainable crypto industry. In addition to encouraging an increase in the number of users, Upbit also emphasizes the importance of quality understanding so that the public can use digital assets wisely and responsibly.

"In the future, we believe that the growth of the crypto industry in Indonesia will be greatly determined by the quality of user literacy. Therefore, Upbit Indonesia will continue to play an active role in presenting relevant, inclusive, and sustainable educational initiatives," concluded Resna Raniadi.
