The Indonesian government wants all cryptocurrency exchanges operating in the country to be registered with the National Digital Asset Exchange before they can continue to operate, thereby monitoring asset liquidity and recording cryptocurrency transactions for tax purposes. Indonesia this year launched its first national crypto-asset exchange, known as the Commodity Futures Exchange (CFX), which operates similarly to a traditional stock exchange but has a special focus on digital assets. According to official data for 2023, there are more than 18 million registered cryptocurrency traders in the country, about 6 million more than stock traders. (CoinDesk)
