According to the report, PT Goto Gojek Tokopedia Tbk (GoTo) acquired 100% of shares from the crypto exchange. The digital platform paid $8,4 million for the acquisition.

PT Kripto is one of the 25 crypto exchange platforms with a license from Indonesia´s Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency. Its acquisition could be part of a bigger strategy to integrate a blockchain and digital asset business into its structure, a spokesperson for GoTo told Reuters:

We believe that blockchain technology may play a mainstream role in the future of finance.

The company is yet to announce future plans to acquire other platforms. According to the report, the platform raised over $1 billion in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) conducted early in 2022. GoTo is aiming at becoming a one-stop shop for digital money management.

In May 2021, Goje and Tokopedia, two of the biggest startups in Indonesia, announced a merger. The companies combined and created the GoTo Group. to compete with other platforms and survive the economic consequences left by two years of the worldwide pandemic.

In total, the Goto Group has recorded over $22 billion in Gross Transaction Value, 1.8 billion transactions, and 11 million merchant partners. An integration with crypto and blockchain technology could further boost their growth.

In Southeast Asia, the adoption of digital assets has been significant. Data from Reuters claims that transaction volume for digital assets skyrocketed by over 1,000% in 2021 alone reaching over $57 billion compared to 2020.
