In a groundbreaking development for Southeast Asia’s blockchain ecosystem, Saison Capital, BRI Ventures, and Coinvestasi have launched Tokenize Indonesia, a new accelerator program designed to identify and support Real-World Asset (RWA) startups in the blockchain and tokenization space. This initiative aims to tap into Indonesia’s estimated $88 billion market potential for asset tokenization, according to findings from the November 2024 “Project Wira” report.
What is Tokenize Indonesia?
The Tokenize Indonesia accelerator will run from April to August 2025, providing shortlisted startups with opportunities to conduct Proof of Concepts (POCs) alongside major Indonesian corporations. Leading organizations that participated included financial giant Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) and telecommunications provider Telkom Indonesia.
The program will culminate at Coinfest Asia, the continent’s largest crypto festival, scheduled for August 21-22, 2025, in Bali. There, selected startups will showcase their innovations to investors, industry leaders, and potential partners.
Indonesia’s Thriving Crypto Ecosystem
With over 20 million crypto users, Indonesia ranks third globally in web3 adoption. The country’s blockchain environment is flourishing thanks to a tech-savvy population, expanding middle class, growing fintech sector, and increasing adoption of digital payment infrastructure.
Approximately 7% of Indonesia’s population owns digital assets, surpassing the 6.4 million stock investors on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This highlights the potential for tokenization to revolutionize traditional financial markets.
Key Areas of Innovation
The accelerator will focus on innovations in several high-potential areas:
- Digital money solutions
- Tokenized commodities
- Digital bonds and Sukuks
- Carbon credit marketplaces
- Tokenized real estate

Qin En Looi, Partner at Saison Capital, emphasized: “We believe that blockchain technology is foundational in shaping the future of inclusive finance, transforming existing financial systems, and creating more equity for all. Despite market volatility, we remain active investors in blockchain startups solving real-world finance problems.”
Markus Liman Rahardja, Chief Investment Officer at BRI Ventures, added: “Our goal is to foster meaningful collaboration between well-established financial institutions and innovative, fast-moving technology partners. By bridging these two worlds, we aim to catalyze sustainable growth, drive financial inclusion, and accelerate the adoption of digital assets across Indonesia.”
