JAKARTA - PT Pintu Kemana Saja (PINTU), a crypto asset investment platform licensed and supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), recorded significant growth in activity in the category of US Stocks Tokenized Assets during the second quarter (Q2) 2026.
Compared to the previous quarter (quarter-over-quarter/QoQ), the number of active traders in this category increased by 18 percent, the number of transactions increased by 17 percent, and trading volume increased by 11 percent.
This growth was recorded in line with the surge in interest in investment instruments with reference to index or exchange-traded funds (ETF), which reflects the shift in investor behavior towards diversifying the digital asset portfolio. PINTU has introduced 45 tokenized assets based on stocks and US ETFs since it was officially introduced in the PINTU application in September 2025.
PINTU President Director Andy Putra revealed that the even growth in all major indicators in the second quarter of 2026 shows that real world asset (RWA) based tokens, especially tokenized US stocks, are increasingly becoming an option as part of the diversification strategy of investors and crypto traders in Indonesia.
"The increase in the number of active traders by 18% quarter-over-quarter indicates an increasingly widespread investor base," he said, Thursday, July 23.
One of the most prominent findings this quarter was the surge in interest in index-based ETF instruments of the main stock exchange in the United States. The Nasdaq-100 ETF token, which is based on an index of around 100 non-financial open company shares in the United States, recorded an increase in trading volume of up to 115 percent quarter-on-quarter, accompanied by an increase in the number of active traders of 196 percent in the same period.
The S&P 500 ETF token, which is based on the index of the 500 largest open-market companies in the United States, also recorded a 74 percent growth in volume with an increase in the number of active traders reaching 160 percent. The very high growth of active traders of these two instruments indicates the entry of new investors who specifically choose market exposure with a wider diversified risk through index-based assets in their digital asset portfolio.
The availability of a variety of tokenized asset options based on shares and US ETFs on the PINTU application encourages greater interest from traders in this asset class, where investors and traders can invest or carry out trading activities on these assets starting from affordable capital.
"Meanwhile, the much greater interest in index ETFs compared to single stocks is a positive sign of maturity. Investors are no longer just chasing one popular name, but are starting to use tokenization to gain more diversified exposure to the overall US stock market. In the future, PINTU will continue to expand the selection of index-based tokenized instruments so that more Indonesian investors can access this global asset diversification strategy with affordable capital," said Andy.
Outside the ETF trend, US technology stock-based tokens also recorded significant growth. Apple (AAPLX) stock-based tokens were recorded as one of the assets with the highest trading volume growth in this quarter, up more than double compared to the previous quarter. In addition to Apple, a number of other token assets also recorded double-digit trading volume increases, including Circle (CRCLX, +60 percent), Microsoft (MSFTX, +39 percent), and silver metal commodity-based tokens (tokenized silver) which also rose 39 percent.
The spread of growth in these cross-sector assets ranging from technology-based stock tokens, crypto-native assets, to precious metal commodities shows that investor interest in RWA in the PINTU application is not centered on one type of asset, but extends to various asset classes available in the form of tokens.
"This quarter's trend confirms that the availability of diverse RWA asset options, supported by proper education, can encourage healthy RWA adoption. However, we always remind that tokenized assets are still investment instruments that have risks, so investors need to study and fully understand the characteristics, potential returns, and risks of each asset before trading. In the future, PINTU will continue to introduce, educate, and expand the availability of RWA options responsibly for investors and traders in Indonesia," concluded Andy.
For information, currently, PINTU presents a variety of tokenized asset options which include shares of global companies such as Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon, Meta, Netflix, Tesla, Alphabet, AMD, Coinbase, Circle, as well as various other assets, including gold commodities, thus providing a more diverse selection of RWA investments for investors in Indonesia.
