Is Binance available in Indonesia?
The global Binance platform is not licensed by Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) and is not on the list of locally registered crypto traders. Indonesian residents access a Binance linked service through Tokocrypto, a locally licensed exchange in which Binance holds an investment. The regulator is the OJK, and the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) has blocked unlicensed foreign platforms.

How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of June 2026, the global Binance platform is not registered to serve residents of Indonesia. Indonesia requires crypto trading to run through locally licensed traders supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) has blocked accounts of unlicensed foreign exchanges including Binance. Indonesian residents who want Binance linked access typically use Tokocrypto, an OJK licensed local exchange in which Binance holds an investment.
Availability for Indonesian residents
As of 2 June 2026, the global Binance platform is not on the list of crypto traders licensed by the Financial Services Authority, Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), which took over crypto supervision from Bappebti on 10 January 2025. Indonesian rules require crypto trading to be conducted through locally licensed traders, so the global platform is not authorised to serve residents directly.
In July 2024 the Ministry of Communication, then Kominfo and now Komdigi, blocked social media accounts of unlicensed foreign crypto platforms including Binance, on the basis that they did not hold local permits. This reflects the official stance that foreign platforms must be locally licensed to operate.
The route that exists for residents is Tokocrypto, a locally licensed exchange in which Binance holds an investment. Tokocrypto is supervised under the Indonesian framework and supports rupiah, so it, rather than the global Binance platform, is the compliant local option. Confirm the current position directly before acting.
Access, KYC, and the local route
Indonesia treats crypto as a digital financial asset that is legal to trade but not legal as a means of payment, because Bank Indonesia recognises only the rupiah as legal tender. Trading must run through a locally licensed trader, where identity verification (know your customer, or KYC) is required in line with anti money laundering obligations.
The global Binance platform does not offer a licensed rupiah on ramp to Indonesian residents. The locally licensed Tokocrypto exchange supports rupiah deposits through local bank integration and applies Indonesian tax handling on eligible trades. For how crypto is taxed, see the Indonesia tax section below.
How crypto is taxed in Indonesia
Indonesia taxes crypto. The tax authority is the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance. A small final income tax applies to crypto sales conducted on locally licensed exchanges, reported at about 0.21 percent after the 2025 reforms, and licensed local platforms typically withhold it at source. Users who trade on foreign platforms that are not locally licensed are generally responsible for reporting themselves. Treatment depends on your circumstances, so confirm with the DJP or a qualified adviser. See the Indonesia crypto tax page. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 2 June 2026).
The global Binance platform is not licensed in Indonesia, so we do not link it here. These pages cover the locally licensed exchanges that are genuinely available, including OJK supervised platforms such as Tokocrypto, Indodax, and Pintu.
