As the founder of the Indonesia Real World Asset Tokenization Association (IRWATA), I am convinced that blockchain technology can democratize investments, leading to significant economic and social transformation in Indonesia. The fusion of digital innovation and real-world asset tokenization presents an unparalleled opportunity for our nation to become a global leader in this emerging field.
IRWATA Summit 2025: A Catalyst for Change
We are excited to announce that the IRWATA Summit 2025 is scheduled for January 26, 2025. This event aims to position Indonesia as a hub for digital innovation and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Esteemed founders and co-founders from prominent blockchain projects, including XRP, Polygon, Peaq Network, and Chainlink, will be in attendance.
According to IRWATA Chairman Muhammad Sabdo, the summit serves as a pivotal moment to attract investments in sectors such as agriculture, carbon credits, and inclusive financing. He emphasizes that while RWA is a relatively new concept in Indonesia, global tech giants like Google have already ventured into this sector.
Unlocking Indonesia’s Potential Through Tokenization
Blockchain technology is more than just a digital ledger; it serves as a bridge connecting untapped local resources with global investors. Through tokenization, we can fractionalize ownership of high-value assets, making them accessible to everyday Indonesians and international stakeholders alike. Imagine investing in Indonesia’s infrastructure, agriculture, and renewable energy projects with ease and transparency.
The global market for real-world asset tokenization is projected to reach $10 trillion by 2030.
Indonesia is uniquely positioned to capture a significant share of this market, thanks to our abundant natural resources, innovative spirit, and expanding digital infrastructure. However, seizing this opportunity requires urgency. Neighboring countries like Singapore and South Korea are already moving swiftly to become blockchain hubs, but Indonesia has a unique advantage: the untapped potential of its natural and human capital.
Driving Economic Growth and Financial Inclusion
IRWATA’s mission is to unlock Indonesia’s true economic potential. By tokenizing national assets—such as toll roads, solar farms, and real estate projects—we can attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), addressing the $1.5 trillion infrastructure funding gap identified by the Asian Development Bank. Tokenization also reduces transaction costs by up to 20%, increasing efficiency and liquidity in previously illiquid markets.
What makes tokenization especially transformative is its ability to empower all Indonesians, not just the elite. Currently, only 6% of Indonesians invest in the capital market. With blockchain, we can introduce fractional ownership, enabling micro-investors and underbanked communities to participate in wealth creation. Blockchain-based financial systems can reduce fees by up to 70%, providing a fairer and more inclusive financial ecosystem.
A Sustainable Future with Tokenization
Indonesia’s commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with the principles of blockchain and tokenization. IRWATA is spearheading initiatives like reforesting 5 million hectares of land and empowering farmers to produce and export 1 million tons of rice annually. These projects will leverage tokenization to attract global ESG-focused investments, ensuring transparency and traceability.
Additionally, tokenizing renewable energy projects such as solar and wind farms will help us meet our Net Zero Emissions Roadmap. Blockchain-based carbon credit platforms will allow Indonesia to monetize its vast forests and natural resources, positioning us as a leader in sustainable development.
Indonesia’s Time to Shine on the Global Stage
The IRWATA Summit 2025 will be a landmark moment in Indonesia’s journey. It will bring together thought leaders, policymakers, and blockchain pioneers to solidify our leadership in this space. The event will also serve as a launchpad for groundbreaking pilot projects in agriculture, renewable energy, and inclusive finance.
The global blockchain community is watching, and the message is clear: Indonesia must act now to establish itself as the region’s blockchain hub. The world is racing toward digital transformation, and those who lead today will define the economic paradigms of tomorrow.
Call to Action: Let’s Shape Indonesia’s Future Together
This is not just a vision; it’s a call to action. IRWATA invites policymakers, investors, and innovators to join us in creating a tokenized economy that empowers all Indonesians. Together, we can ensure that blockchain and tokenization not only transform our economy but also make Indonesia a beacon of innovation and inclusivity for the world.
The time to act is now. Let’s seize this moment to build a legacy that will define Indonesia’s future—one token at a time.
