Despite the bear market, the crypto market in Indonesia isn’t showing signs of slowing down. With about 12 million people in the country now owning cryptocurrency, digital asset exchanges continue to emerge.

One such platform is Mobee, which was founded in 2022 by Andrew Tjahyadikarta and Jeff Pradana. The Jakarta-based company aims to serve users seeking passive income and active investors interested in more sophisticated wealth management products.

Mobee recently obtained a license from Bappebti, Indonesia’s regulatory body for trading digital assets.

In addition to 1982 Ventures, several strategic Indonesian family offices and individuals also participated in the round.
