As of 2025-2026 data, TokoCrypto ranks second among Indonesian exchanges by historical daily volume, behind Indodax . The majority of volume comes from IDR and USDT spot pairs. Derivatives are not offered on the domestic market; after the adoption of OJK regulation No. 23/2025, their status became clearer, but TokoCrypto maintains a spot focus. Security and Incidents Architecture: most funds in cold storage, hot wallets with multi-signature. An insurance policy of $10 million covers potential losses.

Policy for recovering erroneous deposits: fee of 20 USDT, processing time up to 30 business days. Related Individuals Pang Xue Kai (co-founder, CEO until December 2022) - Singaporean, graduate of the National University of Singapore. Noticed the arbitrage opportunity during the "kimchi premium" (2017) and founded TokoCrypto as a brokerage platform without its own order book, using global liquidity. Secured the first regulation in Indonesia, established banking on-ramps for instant IDR deposits, and formed a strategic partnership with Binance. After leaving his post, he founded the AI startup Untukmu AI, which raised seed investment from 1982 Ventures in 2024. Calvin Kizana (CEO since January 2025) - previously Country Head of WhatsApp Indonesia (Meta). Under his leadership, the company achieved its first annual profit in 2024, conducted 135 educational events in second- and third-tier cities, reaching 200,000 participants. He oversees the exchange's integration into the ICEX Group ecosystem. Operating legal entity: PT Aset Digital Berkat (registered at Prudential Centre, Jalan Casablanca Raya, Kavling 88, Jakarta Selatan). 100% of shares have been owned by Binance since December 2022. Potential In May 2026, the exchange began transitioning to ICEX Group - a national infrastructure created under OJK mandate, which could strengthen trust from regulators and institutional players. User base growth (4.5 million as of mid-2025) and an active educational program (135 events in 2024) expand the audience beyond major cities. The development of OTC services (since November 2025) attracts corporate clients. Potential introduction of derivatives following OJK regulation No. 23/2025 could open a new segment, though the current focus remains on spot. The presence of licenses and cooperation with government bodies creates a solid foundation for legal scaling. Risks [Identified by Finkonkurs AI Analytics System] Regulatory risks : although the exchange was the first to obtain licenses, the transition of oversight to OJK may bring new stringent requirements. Mass delistings (in 2022 and 2025) at the regulator's direction reduce the product range and may deter issuers. Legal disputes (insider trading allegations), while not resulting in sanctions, create reputational risks. Ownership concentration : full ownership by Binance means dependence on the parent company's strategy. The 58% staff reduction in 2022 indicates possible restructurings when priorities shift. Competition : Indodax consistently leads in Indonesia; TokoCrypto holds second place. Derivatives are absent, limiting market share compared to global CEXs. Technical risks : using shared Binance Cloud infrastructure is an advantage but also a vulnerability in case of partner outages. Scheduled maintenance occurs several times a year, sometimes suspending operations for several hours. Fund recovery policy : a paid (20 USDT) and lengthy (up to 30 business days) procedure for returning erroneous deposits may cause user dissatisfaction.
