The crypto asset industry continues to show positive growth and dynamics, especially in terms of the number of customers and transaction value. According to data from the Indonesian Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI), in May, there was an increase of 363,101 crypto investors, bringing the total number of investors to 19.75 million. The total transaction value from January to May 2024 reached Rp260.9 trillion. Amidst this rapid growth, PT PintuKemanaSaja (PINTU), a crypto asset trading and investment platform in Indonesia, believes that education and literacy about crypto assets and the Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) ecosystem, such as the CFX crypto exchange, Indonesian Commodity Clearing House, and depository institutions, should be promoted to the public. Therefore, PINTU has initiated the Pintu Talks program at the Trisakti Tourism Institute, with the theme of Regulatory and Supervisory Dynamics, Ecosystem Development, and Crypto Asset and Web3 Transformation in Indonesia. This edition of Pintu Talks was attended by Plt Head of BappebtiKasan, Head of the Bureau of Development and Development of Commodity Futures Trading Tirta Karma Senjaya, CEO of CFX Subani, Vice Rector 1 for Academic Affairs at Trisakti Tourism Institute AgusRiyadi, Head of the Digital Business Department at Trisakti Tourism Institute AriawanAryapranata, and PINTU's General Counsel MalikulkusnoUtomo (Dimas). During the keynote speech session, Plt Head of BappebtiKasan expressed, "This activity is very beneficial for businesses in the crypto asset trading ecosystem as well as the public, especially students at Trisakti Tourism Institute. Therefore, we appreciate CFX, Trisakti Tourism Institute, and PINTU for their collaboration in organizing this educational event. The hope is that through this activity, the public's understanding of crypto assets will improve, become accurate, and comprehensive, so that they can make informed decisions when considering transactions in the crypto asset trading market." CFX CEO Subani, who is one of the panelists, welcomes the Pintu Talks event. "Education is one of our responsibilities as an SRO, especially when it comes to the specific aspects of crypto asset regulations and the role of SRO institutions that need to be considered. We appreciate PINTU, Trisakti, and the support of Bappebti for continuously sharing information about crypto investment security and regulations with the public. We believe that CFX's presence here, introducing the existing SRO ecosystem, is expected to enhance the trust of the community and businesses that CFX Exchange aims to provide security and convenience in crypto investment while promoting various innovative products that are preferred by domestic crypto investors." Head of the Digital Business Department at Trisakti Tourism Institute, AriawanAryapranata, pays special attention to crypto and blockchain. "Our campus, especially in the Digital Business program, already has a curriculum that follows global standards and teaches about blockchain and cryptocurrency. We also actively collaborate with one of the metaverse companies in Indonesia. So topics like Proof of Stake (PoS), Proof of Work (PoW), Metaverse, Non-fungible Token (NFT) are all discussed in classes related to the tourism industry. We hope to continue collaborating with Bappebti, CFX, and PINTU to educate students about the developments in the crypto world, including the transition from Web2 to Web3.""Investing in crypto assets carries high risks, so it is important to have a good understanding before making investment decisions. Pintu Talks is one of our commitments to provide educational platforms for various communities and campuses, such as Trisakti Tourism Institute."
