The legal situation in Indonesia
Indonesia treats crypto as a tradable asset supervised by OJK since January 2025, and licensed exchanges may list only approved assets. We could not confirm whether ZEC is on the current approved list. No privacy-coin-specific ban was found, and owning ZEC is legal.
Key facts
- 2025-01-10: Crypto supervision formally moved from Bappebti to OJK, under OJK Regulation 27/2024.
- Licensed exchanges may trade only assets on an official permitted list (set by Bappebti Regulation 11/2022, with a new whitelist expected from the exchange operator CFX).
- Tax: Since 1 Aug 2025 (MOF Regulation 50/2025), sellers pay a final 0.21% income tax on the transaction value on domestic platforms (1% on foreign platforms without a tax collector), and crypto purchases are no longer subject to VAT.
