Tokenized Assets in Indonesia: Definition, Regulations, and Examples of RWA

Indonesia's tokenized assets are evolving through business model testing, regulatory development, and the introduction of digital products that represent global assets.

To understand it, the main question is what the token actually represents and what rights its holders receive.

Tokenization can be used for gold, securities, property, and even stocks.

However, digital form does not automatically change the quality of assets or eliminate risk.

The development of RWA needs to be read together with its issuance structure, asset storage, and regulatory status.

Key Takeaways

• Tokenization represents assets or rights to assets through digital tokens.

• The OJK is preparing a framework for RWA tokenization; the draft regulations differ from the existing regulations.

• Tokenized U.S. Stocks serve as a global example, with underlying asset risks and product structure.

What Are Tokenized Assets and How Do They Relate to RWA?

Asset tokenization is the process of representing assets or rights to assets in the form of digital tokens, usually using blockchain.

Real World Assetor RWA refers to the real-world assets on which the representation is based.

In the context of Real World Asset Indonesia, the relationship between the token and its underlying asset is a key element.

Gold tokens, for example, require clarity regarding the backing gold, storage location, and redemption conditions.

Blockchain records alone are not sufficient to explain all the rights of token holders.

Term tokenized assetsalso includes different structures.

There are tokens that represent ownership, economic benefits, or exposure to a particular asset, so the issuance documents need to be read to understand the differences.

Examples of Tokenized Assets and Rights to Understand

Below is a comparison of examples of tokenized assets based on the underlying asset and the aspects that need to be examined.

This example illustrates the concept, not all products are available or approved in Indonesia.

Because their structures vary, stock tokenization does not always provide the same rights as purchasing direct shares. Voting rights, profit sharing, and redemption mechanisms should be reviewed in the terms and conditions of each product.

Development of Indonesian Asset Tokenization Regulations by the OJK

In the April 2026 RDK release, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) announced the drafting of the RPOJK on Tokenized Asset Offerings or RWA Tokenization.

The scope includes asset criteria, offering mechanisms, licensing, consumer protection, and financial recording and reporting of issuers.

RPOJK means Draft of OJK Regulation. 

Because the source discusses the drafting stage, its contents should not be treated as established regulations.

Meanwhile, a copy of the August 2026 RDK release notes that seven sandbox participants had graduated by August.

This number covers several business models, not all RWA tokenization.

The tokenization model includes gold, securities through Fund Management Contracts, and the benefits of property ownership.

The development of RWA tokenization in Indonesia demonstrates the importance of relationships with supporting institutions.

The August release details the involvement of pawnshops in physical gold storage, as well as investment managers and custodian banks in the tokenization of securities.

Potential and Risks of Tokenized Assets

Tokenization has the potential to support asset unit divisibility, traceable recordkeeping, and process efficiency. The results depend on product design, infrastructure, costs, and legal requirements.

Risks include volatility of the underlying asset, limited liquidity, issuer or custodian failure, market changes, and technological disruptions.

The transparency of blockchain transactions also does not automatically prove the adequacy of supporting assets outside the network.
