The research used is normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach. The research stages were carried out by analyzing the Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency Regulation Number 7 of 2020 concerning the Determination of the List of Crypto Assets that can be Traded in the Crypto Asset Physical Market (PerCoFTRA Number 7 of 2020), and Act No. 7 of 2011 concerning Currencies, to find out cryptocurrency legality in Indonesia.
