Crypto Asset Industry Leaders' Thoughts at the CFX Crypto Conference 2025

Bali, 21 August 2025 - As part of the CFX Crypto Conference (CCC) 2025, PT Central Finansial X (CFX) hosted an exclusive side event titled “Fireside Chat: Crypto Thought Leaders’ Opinion.” The event brought together leaders from Indonesia's crypto asset industry, representing the Digital Financial Asset Traders Association (PAKD), to discuss key challenges and strategic opportunities.

The Fireside Chat was designed to gather insights from industry leaders on building a trustworthy and competitive ecosystem. A key topic was how Indonesia can enhance its global competitiveness to attract high-quality foreign investment.

Industry leaders agreed that attracting large institutional investors would be a positive catalyst for the crypto industry's growth. Pintu’s Chief Marketing Officer, Timothius Martin, highlighted the potential benefits, including increased market liquidity, expanded use cases for crypto, and enhanced trust in the ecosystem.

“If foreign investors support domestic innovation, crypto use cases in Indonesia can expand beyond just trading and speculation into areas like payments, remittances, and lending. The most significant impact would be the increased trust and legitimacy that foreign investors bring to our ecosystem,” Timothy said during the 'Fireside Chat' in Bali on Thursday (August 21, 2025).

Meanwhile, Triv CEO Gabriel Rey noted that high-quality foreign investors are already showing interest in Indonesia's crypto industry, driven largely by the country's clear and accommodative regulations. He considers this a key competitive advantage for Indonesia.

“In terms of regulations, Indonesia is the most advanced in Southeast Asia. Everything is clear and well-defined, making it easier for foreign investors to conduct due diligence. For example, the presence of the CFX Exchange, KKI clearinghouse, and ICC custodian ensures that consumer funds are not managed by a single party, which provides both comfort and protection. This is a key advantage that foreign investors recognize,” explained Gabriel.

Product innovation is another key factor in deepening the market. Tokocrypto’s Chief Marketing Officer, Wan Iqbal, noted that while innovation is happening rapidly in the global market, Indonesia still has ground to cover. He gave an example that while Indonesia is still discussing staking, the global market has already moved on to concepts like perpetual staking.

“From a regulatory and compliance perspective, our industry is top-notch, but in terms of adopting innovation, we still need to catch up. We need to focus on new product development so that use cases for cryptocurrency are not limited to trading alone. One way is through collaboration with other financial institutions, such as banks,” said Iqbal.

The insights and recommendations from this Fireside Chat will be incorporated into the main agenda of the CFX Crypto Conference 2025. CFX Exchange is committed to facilitating constructive dialogue between the industry and regulators to build a trustworthy, competitive, and innovative crypto ecosystem in Indonesia.
