Why blockchain matters in Indonesia
In Indonesia, all you need to invest in cryptocurrency is a smartphone, an internet connection, and US$0.75.
Cryptocurrency has taken off in the country: 7.4 million of its citizens owned crypto assets as of 2021. Itโs also just the beginning of blockchain technologyโs growing prevalence in Indonesia.
Blockchain, which provides a shared record of information maintained and updated by a network of computers instead of a centralized authority, has the potential to address the many hurdles that Indonesia faces across different industries, such as financial services and intellectual property. Letโs take a closer look at how the technology can do that.

Tokocrypto is a crypto asset digital exchange in Indonesia that aims to be more than just a trading platform by creating Tokoverse, an ecosystem of blockchain services.
