Indonesia, Wall Street, and Bitcoin in the Spotlight at TOKEN2049

Written by Claude Baumann | Publisher

Day 2 of TOKEN2049 in Singapore showcased the future of digital assets – from Indonesia’s regulatory blueprint to Wall Street’s instant tokenization and Bitcoin’s newest growth engine.

Indonesia is fast emerging as a crypto powerhouse, thanks to CFX – the country’s first licensed crypto bourse. At TOKEN2049 Singapore, the presentations highlighted the exchange’s «Three-Pillar» market structure, combining a dedicated clearing house (KKI), custodian (ICC), and oversight by regulator OJK.

This setup has delivered a rare mix of transparency and trust, curbing fraud while enforcing robust governance. With 16.5 million registered investors and double-digit growth in 2025 alone, Indonesia is positioning itself to lead the next wave of innovation – spanning stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

Wall Street Stocks Go 24/7

Another headline came from Alpaca, which unveiled its Instant Tokenization Network (ITN). This breakthrough infrastructure allows institutions to mint and redeem US stocks as tokenized assets in-kind and around the clock.

The launch partners – including Backed, Ondo Finance, Dinari, and DRW – demonstrate institutional interest in bridging traditional and tokenized markets. Running on Solana as its settlement chain, ITN could remove age-old frictions in settlement and liquidity.

With tokenized markets forecasted to reach $10 trillion by 2030, Alpaca aims to become one of the key pipes of the digital Wall Street.

Bitcoin also took center stage with Citrea, which offered a preview of its upcoming mainnet launch. The network is designed to funnel new liquidity into Bitcoin while creating additional revenue streams for miners – an innovation many in the Bitcoin community see as a reshaping of BTC’s economic landscape.

By minimizing counterparty risks and mobilizing deep liquidity, Citrea aims to unlock Bitcoin’s next growth chapter. Its mainnet could transform not just BTC as an asset, but the economics of the network itself – a development closely watched by miners, investors, and institutions alike.
