Indonesia has recently officially opened its policy for tourists to use cryptocurrency for payments, a news that has sparked considerable discussion in the crypto community. While foreign countries have begun to incorporate cryptocurrency into everyday consumption scenarios, allowing tourists to easily settle their expenses with digital assets, many people in the domestic market are still worrying about another issue: whether their bank cards will be frozen due to involvement in cryptocurrency transactions.
On one side, there are gradually opening application scenarios that allow the payment function of cryptocurrencies to come into play; on the other side, there are concerns about fund security, fearing that normal operations may also trigger risk control. This contrast highlights the differences in cryptocurrency regulation and application across different regions, and has led many to sigh, when will it be possible to engage with such emerging payment methods more securely within a compliant framework.
