Background
- Digital transformation has driven fundamental change across numerous sectors, including financial services. One innovation that has developed rapidly at the global level is the tokenisation of Real World Assets (RWA), the process of digitalising ownership of real assets, such as property, securities, commodities, and other financial instruments, into tokens based on distributed ledger technology (DLT) or blockchain. This innovation creates opportunities for a financial system that is more efficient, transparent, inclusive, and accessible to a broader cross-section of society.
- Reports from various international bodies indicate that asset tokenisation has the potential to become one of the principal drivers of global financial market transformation, through enhanced asset liquidity, greater transaction efficiency, streamlined administrative processes, and broader access to investment. As the adoption of digital technology within the financial sector continues to grow, many countries have begun developing regulatory frameworks to ensure that such innovation proceeds in a safe and trustworthy manner while preserving the stability of the financial system.
- In Indonesia, developments in digital financial innovation and the application of blockchain technology continue to demonstrate a positive trend. This creates opportunities to leverage asset tokenisation as an alternative, more inclusive means of financing and investment. Nevertheless, the implementation of Real World Asset tokenisation continues to face a range of challenges, including regulatory readiness, governance, risk mitigation, consumer protection, system interoperability, and the readiness of the wider industry ecosystem.
- As the regulator of the financial services sector, the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, OJK) holds a strategic role in promoting responsible innovation, including the development of a digital asset ecosystem that is secure, transparent, and conducted with integrity. Synergy among regulators, industry participants, and financial institutions, both domestic and international, is a critical factor in building an asset tokenisation ecosystem capable of supporting national economic growth.
- Accordingly, OJK Institute is convening the webinar "Real World Asset (RWA) Tokenisation: A New Opportunity to Drive Economic Growth in the Digital Era" as a strategic discussion forum to deepen understanding of developments in asset tokenisation, the regulator's policy direction, the readiness of the industry ecosystem, and the opportunities for its implementation in broadening access to investment and financing in Indonesia.
Objective
- To understand the concept and development of Real World Asset (RWA) tokenisation at global and national levels.
- To understand OJK's policy direction and regulatory approach in developing the asset tokenisation ecosystem in Indonesia.
- To identify opportunities, challenges, and risks in implementing Real World Asset (RWA) tokenisation for the financial services industry.
- To gain insight into the practices and experience of global financial institutions promoting investment through asset tokenisation.
