Indonesia Cracks Down on Crypto Influencer Promotions

Indonesia has become the latest country to require social media influencers to obtain competency certification before promoting cryptocurrencies and other digital financial assets.

The Financial Services Authority of Indonesia issued Regulation No. 6 of 2026, which applies to all influencers who recommend these assets on their platforms.

The regulation excludes individuals who already hold a separate licence that covers promotional activities.

Influencers will only be able to promote digital assets listed on authorized exchanges, and any service provider featured in their content must have the relevant regulatory licence.
