In the announced list, leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), Polkadot (DOT), Sandbox (SAND), Uniswap (UNI) currencies and more. This has sparked discussions that Indonesia has taken a crypto-friendly stance and has the potential to use cryptocurrencies as a legal means of payment.
One notable issue is that some of the tokens on the list include those recognized as securities by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This illustrates the need to be vigilant about legal compliance while maintaining Indonesia’s regulation and adoption of digital assets.
An Indonesian YouTuber expressed his pride in his country’s crypto-friendly stance. He added that Indonesia sees cryptocurrencies as a commodity. He also stated that the country is not yet accepting cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, but is striving for it. It has been implied that the possibility of Indonesia allowing cryptocurrencies for payments is being evaluated.
