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 26 June 2026, Phemex is available with limits to residents of Indonesia. Indonesia does not appear among the restricted territories in the Phemex Terms of Use, so Phemex serves residents from its side. However, the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan allows crypto trading only through licensed exchanges, and Phemex does not appear on that licensed list, so using it may not meet local rules and you should verify the position before signing up.
Availability for residents of Indonesia
As of 26 June 2026, Phemex is available with limits to residents of Indonesia. Indonesia does not appear on the list of restricted territories in the Phemex Terms of Use, so Phemex serves residents from its side, subject to identity verification known as know your customer.
Indonesia regulates crypto assets through the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, known as OJK, which took over supervision from Bappebti, the commodity futures regulator, on 10 January 2025. Trading is allowed through exchanges licensed by the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, and the regulator maintains a list of licensed providers. Phemex does not appear on that licensed list, so using it may not meet local requirements. Confirm the current position with the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan and the platform.
Because availability and licensing can change, treat this status as accurate as of 26 June 2026 and confirm the current position in the Phemex Terms of Use and with the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan before acting.
Access, identity checks, and products
Phemex is a custodial platform that offers crypto spot trading and derivatives, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. The exact products offered to a country depend on local rules, so check the platform itself for the current list.
Derivatives products carry a high level of risk and are not offered everywhere. Trying to bypass a location restriction, for example by using a virtual private network or a foreign address, can breach the Phemex Terms of Use and put funds and account access at risk. The safer route is to use a platform that openly serves Indonesia and to verify its status before signing up.
