The Bank of Indonesia plans to release a conceptual design for a digital rupiah before the end of the year. Digital currency will be distributed to large financial institutions and payment service providers by the central bank, then resell to smaller financial institutions. The Philippines and Australia are also investigating wholesale digital currencies based on blockchain technology to enhance transfers and settlements.
Cryptocurrency trading is "not suited for the general public", according to Singapore's central bank.
Cryptocurrency investors in Singapore may have to go through a risk awareness assessment before being allowed to trade. They will also not be able to use credit cards or any form of borrowing to trade cryptocurrencies. These are among the measures proposed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to protect retail consumers. A risk awareness assessment is also being proposed to ensure that retail customers have sufficient knowledge of the risks involved. DPT service providers will not be allowed to offer any monetary or non-monetary incentives to retail customers upon sign-up, or to any person to encourage referrals of its service.
