Indonesia Joins Global Crackdown on Financial Influencers

Indonesia’s financial regulator has introduced certification requirements for influencers who recommend crypto and other digital financial assets under Financial Services Authority Regulation No. 6 of 2026, announced Wednesday. Individuals recommending digital assets must obtain competency certifications unless they are already subject to a separate licensing requirement.

Influencers may recommend only digital assets listed on authorized exchanges, and any service provider they point to must also be licensed. Marketing campaigns must be conducted through regulated financial services businesses, which are responsible for the promotional content and must use their official communication channels.

The move places Indonesia alongside other jurisdictions tightening oversight of finfluencers.
