Indonesia is taking a big step into digital money. Bank Indonesia, the country’s central bank, has confirmed plans to launch a new digital asset that works like a national stablecoin. This stablecoin will be backed by government bonds and tied to the digital rupiah, Indonesia’s central bank digital currency (CBDC).
The plan was announced by Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo during a major fintech event in Jakarta. He explained that the bank will issue digital securities backed by state bonds. These digital assets will come from the digital rupiah and act as Indonesia’s own stablecoin.

A Digital Bond System
Warjiyo said the bank will create digital versions of government bonds. These will be supported by the digital rupiah, making them stable and secure. The goal is to bring blockchain into the country’s financial system in a safe, controlled way.
This move could help the government test digital finance while keeping risk low. Since the digital rupiah is a CBDC, it is issued and backed by the central bank. The bond-backed stablecoin adds another layer of security because government bonds support it.

Regulation and Market Use
Stablecoins are not official money in Indonesia yet. Still, the government is paying close attention. The Financial Services Authority already checks how stablecoins are used, especially for payments and sending money abroad.
A top regulator noted that some stablecoins are used to protect value during price swings in crypto. He said stablecoins backed by strong assets are seen as more stable than most cryptocurrencies.

Crypto Adoption Rising
Indonesia is already one of the most active crypto markets in the world. It ranks seventh globally in crypto adoption. The country also has strong activity in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.
This new bond-backed stablecoin shows Indonesia wants to modernize its financial system. If the plan succeeds, it could support faster payments, safer digital assets, and wider crypto use in the country. It also signals growing trust in blockchain technology across Southeast Asia.
