boldCrypto Regulation in Indonesia Still not clear.
So far, the wrestling of issues about the regulation of the crypto world like bitcoin and other crypto is still running confusingly. Explicitly in BI's press release some time ago, it does provide a special prohibition for the use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
While on the other hand, the BI is also still trying to review the use of digital currency plan. This was revealed through the Head of Bank Indonesia Payment System Policy Department, Onny Widjanarko, at a press conference held by BI on Wednesday.
On that occasion Onny said that so far there has been no plan of trial or publish digital currency. According to him, the BI still need a lot to see the implications that can be generated when later published, both to monetary, financial, and for the payment system.
However, Onny explained that the digital currency is not the bitcoin that talked about. He said that the central bank wants to create a digital currency instead of a virtual currency. According to him, the two things about digital currency and virtual currency are considered different instruments.
