The company was established based on the understanding of how such blockchain facilities could be utilized for the benefit of the public.

Being the only legally registered crypto-exchange platform it has come closer to achieve its objective of becoming the leading cryptocurrency exchange platform in Southeast Asia, which can be accounted for as a huge leap for the company.
The existing cryptocurrency exchanges in Indonesia operating in the gray areas were cleared of uncertainties when BAPPEBTTI issued regulatory compliance rules with respect to such platforms to clear ambiguities.

The digital economy of the country is estimated to ascend from $40 billion to $133 billion by 2025 based on a recent report. This, in turn, underlines the capacity of cryptocurrencies in the Indonesian market. To achieve the status of a fully licensed exchange, Tokocrypto will actively engage with BAPPEPTI and other Government agencies in the country.
