Buy Bitcoin from Indonesia's top Crypto Exchanges
Unlike the rather Regulatory friendly neighboring countries of Indonesia, this Particular South East Asian Nation has a degree of challenges when it comes to Blockchain Regulation. The Central Bank of Indonesia warns its Citizens about the risks associated with trading Cryptocurrencies and reiterates that it is not legitimate within Indonesia from a press release on Jan 13th. The issues stem from the concerns over Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. This is seen with the voluntary closure of two Cryptocurrency Exchanges in Indonesia “TokoBitcoin” and “BitBayar”. The Central Bank has their own Anti-Cryptocurrency Campaign claiming that:
''Virtual currencies are vulnerable to bubble risks and susceptible to be used for money laundering and terrorism financing, therefore can potentially impact financial system stability and cause financial harm to society.''

Bank of Indonesia has attempted to cracks down on Bali bitcoin business in the past
Though amidst the Republic’s Central Bank of Indonesia’s distaste and opposition towards Cryptocurrencies, there is No Official Ban on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies in the Country. All of the statements and opinions presented by the Central Bank are advice on the risks associated with buying, selling, and trading with digital assets such as Cryptocurrencies. In our current Era, it is indeed the Wild, Wild West of Crypto. And the recent statement does indeed shed a harsher tone. But its all to warn the general public on its risks.
Ultimately there are numerous Exchanges and Peer-to-Peer Marketplaces that have decided to set up shop on Indonesian Soil. Even one of South Korea’s Top Three Cryptocurrency Exchanges (Coinone) had launched their Exchange in Indonesia.
It’s clear that Bank Indonesia is exceptionally concerned, if not, dismissive towards Cryptocurrencies. Regardless, it is NOT Banned, further, it would be unconstructive to not allow some level of regulation to allow Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technology to grow from its Nascent position.
Hence why there are a number of Startups, Marketplaces, and Exchanges that have decided to sprout in the Tropical Nation, with International Interest from foreign firms with Expansion Plans. In this Comprehensive List we will be sharing and reviewing several Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Peer-to-Peer Marketplaces which have gained popularity and growth in Indonesia.

The Infamous Luno, formerly known as BitX, is one of the oldest and well-established Cryptocurrency Exchanges out there. Based in the UK and established in 2013, this Company has become an early mover in the Cryptocurrency Exchange Field as 2013 was still early in the years for Crypto. With a reputation for having a Secure, Reliable, and Safe Exchange, they’ve expanded from their traditional BTC/Fiat pair to add Ethereum services too. Now thanks to several series of fundings, they’ve expanded their services to other Markets such as Nigeria, Singapore, South Africa, Malaysia and Indonesia.
As a result from the increasing demand for Cryptocurrencies in South East Asia, Luno has had quite an impact in the Asian Markets in providing citizens access to the Cryptocurrencies. Citizens of Indonesia will benefit from the considerably affordable rates due to increased competition and having been in the game for several years. They accept Bank Transfers, International Wire, Credit Card and BTC + ETH deposits and a simple user interface to engage with.
