JAKARTA - Recently, OJK estimated that the value of crypto investment transactions in Indonesia would reach IDR 1,000 trillion, an increase of more than three times compared to the transaction value in early 2024, which was IDR 301.75 trillion.

Responding to the projection, Robby as Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) of Reku and General Chair of Aspakrindo-ABI said the target was very possible, given the increasing number of crypto investors in the country.

Furthermore, Robby also said that positive growth was driven by groups such as Gen Z and millennials. Because according to him, crypto assets are more flexible investment assets.

They can invest in crypto starting from IDR 5,000 as in Reku. In addition, transparency of crypto assets also allows the younger generation to make transaction shipments and withdrawals through their respective wallets. This experience is difficult to find in other investment instruments," said Robby.

On Reku itself, the Gen Z and millennial groups occupy one of the largest servings of their users. Where as many as 60 percent of Reku users are the millennial generation and Gen Z.

"This further shows the great interest and participation of this generation in crypto assets. Regardless of price volatility, this factor is actually an interesting aspect of short-term trading and obtains optimal return potential," he added.

In addition to the adoption of Gen Z and millennials, regulations are also a factor that has the potential to encourage crypto transactions.

Robby hopes that in the future crypto asset regulations can continue to take place win-win for all stakeholders, both investors, local and global crypto asset traders.
