Gateway to Crypto Adoption in Indonesia and the World

Through this writing, we want to talk about the easiest, fastest, and fun way to get someone to adopt crypto. In the period 2019-2020, we are presented with the narrative that one of the most potential and easiest media to get someone to adopt crypto and blockchain is through games and the metaverse. Most media, both mainstream media and social media, have never stopped raising the theme of `blockchain games` with the jargon `Play-To-Earn` (P2E).


We beg to differ. We have an idea : there is an easier, and definitely a fun way that can make a person to becoma a crypto adopter. And the best part : without capital needed.


Crypto and Blockchain Industry 2017-2020 Highlights


For the past few years, especially in 2017-2022, is a very exciting period for the crypto sector and blockchain technology. On that period of time, the Bitcoin boom started with the achievement of the highest price followed by a very volatile price fall, afterwards followed by the birth of various blockchain network projects and diverse altcoin projects with their respective functions and advantages, as well as various booms in derivative products such as the DeFi (decentralized finance) which once reached the peak of the total value locked (TVL) value of up to $200 billion and is considered as a disruptor for the conventional economic sector.


Followed by NFT trading which reached a peak of trading volume of up to $25 billion and was followed by various brands and auction houses participating in selling various NFTs, the booming of blockchain and crypto-based games with the P2E (Play-2-Earn) model in the crypto gaming ecosystem, and the presence of various metaverse project.


The hype and boom of various projects in the blockchain and crypto sector were not only driven by an increase in the price of Bitcoin which reached $69,000 in the 2021 period, but also driven by massive investments made by large institutions and venture capitalists who injected funds of up to billions of dollars into various NFT, gaming, and other projects. metaverse.


This causes crypto and blockchain adoption to reach its peak during this bullrun . According to data from Chainlink, crypto adoption has reached its peak of growth, reaching 880% in the 2021 period, or more than 2300% from the same period in 2019.


Blockchain technology has the potential to replace conventional financial systems and various crypto projects which besides being investment tools, which also promises a variety of functions and advantages does sound and looks promising, especially the interest from retail and institutional investors is very large for this sector.


Increase in Adoption Rate and Number of Retail Crypto Investors in Indonesia


Taken from the data on the number of retail crypto investors in Indonesia, there has indeed been a very significant increase compared to last 2019. Based on data from BAPPEBTI, in September 2022 the number of crypto investors in Indonesia reached 16.27 million people. This number increased by 151,043 people compared to the previous month. Compared to the previous year, in September 2021, there were 8.96 million people who became customers of crypto assets in Indonesia. This means that the total crypto investors have increased by 7.31 million people, or an increase of 81.6% in 2022.


Even though there has been a decrease from the trend of increasing the number of crypto investors compared to the previous year, this is not surprising considering that the world crypto market is experiencing a decline and investors` interest in entering this market tends to decrease, because the blockchain and crypto sectors still have ties to the traditional financial sector. influenced by macroeconomic movements, and various global recession issues. When viewed from the data, the transaction value as of September 2022 has fallen by 71.83% when compared to the transaction value in September 2021.


Apart from the fact that global crypto market conditions are experiencing a decline, it will be very interesting to try to answer the question of :


How to make more people enter into the crypto and blockchain sector ? What are the obstacles that make people enter the crypto world? What solutions can be offered to answer this challenge?


To answer this question, let`s see the customer journey that generally occurs in Indonesia for a crypto user or investor in entering the crypto world.


Customer Journey Entering the Crypto World - via Crypto Exchange


In general, investors in Indonesia get acquainted and begin to enter the crypto world through crypto exchanges.



The following is the Customer Journey for investors or ordinary users who want to enter the crypto world through crypto exchanges / crypto exchanges in Indonesia:


  1. Download the application or through the official crypto exchange website
  2. Register / sign up
  3. Do KYC (KTP, selfie, and bank account information)
  4. After registration is received and validated, the user`s account becomes active
  5. Afterwards, the user will make a deposit (in this case IDR) into the wallet on their crypto exchange platform.
  6. The user makes a buying and selling transaction of crypto coins or tokens of his choice


A long customer journey, takes time usually between 24-48 hours - it could be longer if a problem with the KYC process detected - as well as the capital deposit that must be made (top up) are things that can make the experience of a new investor in the crypto world feel hesitant to enter.


The second reason is the experience gained from the users as well as the appearance on the crypto exchange platform in general. For new/ordinary crypto users, who try to enter through an exchange, this will make these new users even more doubtful because the interface is very complex, appearing with volatile number movements, which can give unpleasant experiences for these new users.


As a note, this is not the failure nor a case of mistake of the apps or crypto exchange platform, where each platform and application has certainly been very well designed and full of consideration, this is more on the user side; how it can respond to complex displays, full of numbers, symbols and tickers of the various coins and tokens being traded, and more.


These things made us think, is there an easier and more fun way for new and lay crypto users and investors, to then invite them into the world of crypto? A process that is easy, fast, convenient, does not require a deposit / top up using money (IDR), and instead gives them capital to start getting to know and interact with the world of crypto?
