<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.saisoncapital.com/">Saison Capital</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.briventures.id/">BRI Ventures</a>, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://coinvestasi.com/">Coinvestasi</a> have officially launched Tokenize Indonesia, a new accelerator program aimed at identifying and supporting Real-World Asset (RWA) start-ups in the blockchain and tokenization space. The initiative seeks to drive innovation and adoption of tokenized assets in Indonesia, building on findings from the November 2024 report “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://projectwira.id">Project Wira</a> – Indonesia’s Asset Tokenization Opportunity”, which estimates a US$88 billion market potential for asset tokenization in the country.
Tokenize Indonesia will run from April to August 2025, and shortlisted start-ups will run Proof Of Concepts (POCs) with leading corporations across Indonesia, including financial institutions like Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) and telecommunication providers like Telkom Indonesia. The program culminates in August when shortlisted start-ups will be showcased at Asia’s largest crypto festival, Coinfest Asia, on 21 - 22 August in Bali.
The launch announcement for Tokenize Indonesia was made at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://onchain2025.com">ONCHAIN 2025</a> - an annual conference led by Saison Capital, D3 Labs, Helix, and Emurgo - which brings together leading investors, founders, and leaders in the RWA industry across both traditional finance and fintech. This year over 500 people attended the event in Bangkok.

 “With over 20 million crypto users, Indonesia now ranks third globally in web3 adoption—clear evidence of a thriving ecosystem. We are witnessing rapid growth in developer talent, institutional engagement, and regulatory clarity, all laying the foundation for long-term progress. At Coinvestasi, our role is to connect the ecosystem: fostering dialogue, sharing insights, and enabling partnerships that drive the industry forward,” said Steven Suhadi, Founder of Coinvestasi.

Indonesia’s blockchain and tokenization ecosystem is evolving rapidly, supported by a tech-savvy demographic, an expanding middle class, a growing fintech sector, and increasing adoption of digital payment infrastructure. These factors are contributing to the foundational environment for blockchain-based innovations to emerge and scale.
Project Wira, a report developed by BRI Ventures, Saison Capital, D3 Labs, and Tiger Research, highlights blockchain’s potential to transform Indonesia's financial ecosystem. 7% of Indonesia’s population own digital assets, far surpassing the 6.4 million stock investors on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), with more potential for greater adoption to come. Innovations have already been sprouting up in the areas of digital money, commodities, bonds, carbon credits, and real estate. The report estimates that demand for asset tokenization in Indonesia could reach US$88 billion by 2030.
