Indonesia Blockchain Week 2025 Records Attendance of More Than 10,000 Participants

Jakarta – Indonesia Blockchain Week IDBW 2025 officially concluded its conference on December 10 and 11, 2025, at the Jakarta International Convention Center, welcoming more than 10,000 participants from Indonesia and abroad. This achievement reinforces Indonesia’s position as one of the most active blockchain and Web3 growth hubs in Southeast Asia.

Carrying the theme Indonesia 4.0: AI, Blockchain, and Tokenized Solutions for Inclusive Growth, IDBW 2025 featured more than 75 speakers, 15 side events, participation from over 25 countries, and the support of more than 250 sponsors and partners. This year marked the largest scale of Indonesia Blockchain Week since it was first launched in 2019.

IDBW 2025 was made possible through the strategic collaboration of four co-hosts, namely D3 Labs, Tokocrypto, Saison Capital, and Arktivak, all of which share a common vision to accelerate the sustainable adoption of blockchain and Web3 across Indonesia and the wider region.

Co-Founder & Chairman of IDBW 2025, Adytia Raflein, described this milestone as a reflection of the growing maturity of Indonesia’s blockchain ecosystem. “IDBW began as a small gathering with a big vision. Today, the presence of more than 10,000 participants shows how Indonesia’s blockchain ecosystem has become stronger, more mature, and increasingly collaborative. IDBW is not just a conference. It is a movement that brings together shared energy, purpose, and belief,” said Raflein.

From an ecosystem development perspective, Lai Chung Ying, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of D3 Labs, emphasized the role of IDBW as a bridge between innovation and real economic needs. “IDBW 2025 serves as a meeting point between Web3 and the real economy. Indonesia has enormous potential, and this conference connects founders, regulators, and investors to build solutions that are both relevant and sustainable,” said Chung Ying.

A similar view was shared by Calvin Kizana, CEO of Tokocrypto, who highlighted the importance of applying technology beyond digital asset trading. “Through IDBW, we want to reaffirm that blockchain and AI are not short-term trends. These technologies can deliver real solutions, from payment systems and financing to business efficiency,” said Calvin.

From a regional investment standpoint, Looi Qin En, Partner at Saison Capital, noted Indonesia’s strong talent and community advantages. “Indonesia is home to a very strong Web3 talent base and community. IDBW opens strategic connections between local builders and the global ecosystem, particularly in infrastructure development and asset tokenization,” said Qin En.

Meanwhile, Kevin Susanto, Co-Founder and Partner at Arktivak, highlighted IDBW’s role in accelerating collaboration and execution. “IDBW brings builders, investors, and regulators into a single conversation so that Web3 innovation does not stop at concepts, but evolves into real use cases that support a more inclusive digital economy,” said Kevin.

Regulatory support was another key focus of IDBW 2025, particularly in ensuring that innovation develops responsibly and delivers tangible impact. Hasan Fawzi, Chief Executive of Financial Sector Technological Innovation, Digital Financial Asset, and Crypto Asset Supervision at the Financial Services Authority (OJK), underscored the importance of strong governance and ecosystem readiness for more institutional adoption.

“Our focus is to ensure that innovation advances in line with market integrity, consumer protection, and financial system stability. With a licensed ecosystem covering exchanges, custodians, and market operators, Indonesia has a strong foundation to develop more credible and measurable digital financial assets and tokenization initiatives,” he said.

He added that the next phase requires deeper collaboration among industry players, financial institutions, and global partners to ensure digital financial asset issuance is understood correctly, tested, and adopted through appropriate mechanisms.

“The goal is not merely growth, but quality: clear use cases, strong governance, and consistent collaboration. With a large domestic market and rising institutional interest, Indonesia has the opportunity to build a pathway toward becoming a regional hub for digital financial asset issuance,” Fawzi concluded.

Throughout the two-day conference, IDBW 2025 hosted dozens of panel discussions and keynote sessions covering the future of Web3 investment in Asia, blockchain infrastructure development, real-world asset tokenization, and the regulatory direction of the crypto industry in Indonesia. Global and regional figures took part as speakers, including Justin Sun from TRON, Samuel Christian from OKX, Eddy Christian Ng from Tether, Neha Mittal from AWS, Charles Kok from UOB Venture Management, and Takashi Hayashida from Taisu Ventures, alongside representatives from leading Web3 projects.

The success of IDBW 2025 was further supported by more than 250 sponsors and partners, including OKX Wallet, Binance Academy, GRVT, Tether, Mobee, AWS, ATT, Durianpay, Numine, Sumsub, Rapidz, Blu by BCA Digital, Koinsayang, Venus, Bitget VIP, and MEXC Ventures. This strong industry backing reflects global confidence in Indonesia’s potential as a strategic market for blockchain and Web3.

With cross-sector participation and regulatory support, IDBW 2025 is widely regarded as a key momentum in accelerating blockchain adoption with real economic and social impact. “The challenge ahead is to ensure that the innovations born from this forum are translated into real solutions,” Raflein concluded.
