Singapore issues a “crypto scam” alert, Indonesia targets fintech influencers: Asia’s crypto regulation takes another step forward

Singapore’s MAS has added Hyperliquid to its investor alert list—not a ban, but a reminder: this platform has no license, so if something goes wrong, nobody is there to back it up. Hyperliquid responded: we are an unlicensed infrastructure provider; we didn’t apply for a license in the first place. On-chain trading continues as normal. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s OJK has issued new rules: crypto-finance influencers promoting coins must verify licenses, only promote coins listed on licensed exchanges, and advertisements must go through the company’s official channels. With Singapore focusing on the DeFi front end and Indonesia focusing on social promotion, the net of Asia’s crypto regulation is getting tighter. DYOR 🧐 #MAS #Hyperliquid #FinFluencer #OJK

Will crypto tax in Indonesia drop to 0.1%?

Currently 0.21% (local exchanges) | 1% (foreign platforms) | Proposed: 0.1%

1. Current regulations — Since August 1, 2025, under PMK 50/2025, crypto sales are subject to a final Article 22 income tax of 0.21% of the transaction value when made through a domestic exchange, and 1% when made through a foreign platform. Buying crypto? It is no longer subject to VAT because crypto is treated as a security.

2. OJK proposal — Adi Budiarso of OJK said the industry is pushing for the final income tax rate to be reduced from 0.21% to 0.1%, matching the tax on stock sales on the stock exchange (at a seminar on Oct. 16, 2026, as reported by DDTCNews). It is still a proposal; no new PMK has been issued.

3. What this means for you — Tax is calculated on the sale value, not the profit. For example: sell Rp10 million worth of crypto on a local exchange, and the income tax is Rp21,000; if the proposal is approved, it would be Rp10,000. Keep an eye out for official announcements from the Ministry of Finance/DJP.
