TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Financial Services Authority or OJK stated that the digital currency, namely cryptocurrency, will be supervised by the OJK in early January 2025. The OJK official, Frederica Widyasari Dewi, said that this is an effort to protect against the increasing occurrence of illegal financial transactions.
"Hopefully in early January, in accordance with the law, cryptocurrency will be under OJK supervision. We will also include it in the Indonesia Anti-Fraud Center," Frederica said in her speech at The Ballroom Djakarta Theater, Menteng, Central Jakarta on Wednesday, December 11, 2024.
She explained that cryptocurrency is one of the digital currencies with the potential for illegal financial transaction fraud. Therefore, according to the Financial Sector Development and Strengthening Law (UU P2SK), OJK will monitor financial transactions involving this digital currency and other online financial platforms.
Meanwhile, she urged the public to immediately report any fraudulent activities in illegal financial transactions. Frederica mentioned that complaints regarding such incidents can be directed to the Anti-Fraud Center established by OJK to protect consumers from illegal financial transactions.
"Sometimes they are unaware, they fall victim to scams and frauds, and when the money is lost, it becomes difficult to trace when they report a week later," she said.
The Anti-Fraud Center was established by the OJK together with the Task Force for the Eradication of Illegal Financial Activities (Satgas PASTI) on November 22, 2024. Frederica named several institutions that are members of Satgas PASTI, including the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi Ministry), the Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis Center (PPATK), and the State Intelligence Agency or BIN.
She explained to the public the reason why the OJK established the Anti-Fraud Center. According to Frederica, there are currently many consumer complaints related to financial fraud cases with the modus operandi of requesting One-Time Password (OTP) codes.
"The high number of consumer complaints are related to scams and fraud, but these complaints also come from our financial services sector," said Frederica.
