Tokenize Indonesia: Accelerating Real-World Asset Start-ups in the Blockchain Space
Bangkok, Thailand, April 25th, 2025, Chainwire
Saison Capital, BRI Ventures, and Coinvestasi have joined forces to introduce Tokenize Indonesia, an innovative accelerator program dedicated to identifying and supporting Real-World Asset (RWA) start-ups operating in the blockchain and tokenization sectors. The primary objective of this initiative is to spur innovation and promote the adoption of tokenized assets in Indonesia, leveraging insights from the November 2024 report titled “Project Wira – Indonesia’s Asset Tokenization Opportunity”, which projects a staggering US$88 billion market potential for asset tokenization within the country.
Running from April to August 2025, Tokenize Indonesia will provide selected start-ups with the opportunity to engage in Proof Of Concepts (POCs) with prominent corporations in Indonesia, including key players like Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) and Telkom Indonesia. The program will reach its climax in August as the shortlisted start-ups showcase their innovations at Coinfest Asia, Asia’s largest crypto festival, scheduled for 21 – 22 August in Bali.
The official launch of Tokenize Indonesia took place at ONCHAIN 2025, an annual conference organized by Saison Capital, D3 Labs, Helix, and Emurgo, bringing together leading investors, founders, and experts in the RWA industry spanning traditional finance and fintech. The event, held in Bangkok, attracted over 500 attendees this year.
“At Saison Capital, we firmly believe that blockchain technology and its associated benefits play a pivotal role in shaping the future of inclusive finance, revolutionizing existing financial systems, and fostering greater equity for all. Despite the current market fluctuations, we remain actively involved in investing in blockchain start-ups that address real-world financial challenges. It is imperative that we rally key partners to offer enhanced support to founders in resolving the prevailing issues encountered by corporations, and we are delighted to collaborate with like-minded partners such as BRI Ventures and Coinvestasi,” expressed Qin En Looi, Partner at Saison Capital.

“With over 20 million crypto users, Indonesia currently ranks third globally in web3 adoption—a clear indication of a flourishing ecosystem. We are witnessing rapid growth in developer talent, institutional involvement, and regulatory transparency, all laying the groundwork for long-term advancement. At Coinvestasi, our role is to connect the ecosystem: fostering dialogue, sharing insights, and facilitating partnerships that drive the industry forward,” highlighted Steven Suhadi, Founder of Coinvestasi.
The blockchain and tokenization landscape in Indonesia is rapidly evolving, bolstered by a tech-savvy population, a burgeoning middle class, a thriving fintech sector, and the increasing uptake of digital payment infrastructure. These factors collectively contribute to the ideal environment for the emergence and scaling of blockchain-based innovations.
Project Wira, a comprehensive report developed by BRI Ventures, Saison Capital, D3 Labs, and Tiger Research, underscores the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize Indonesia’s financial ecosystem. A notable 7% of Indonesia’s population currently own digital assets, surpassing the 6.4 million stock investors on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), with significant room for further adoption. Innovations have already begun to surface in various sectors such as digital currencies, commodities, bonds, carbon credits, and real estate. The report projects that the demand for asset tokenization in Indonesia could soar to US$88 billion by 2030.

The Benefits of Mindful Eating
Mindful eating is a practice that involves paying full attention to the experience of eating and drinking, without judgment or distraction. This means being fully present in the moment while consuming food, and being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensations related to eating. The benefits of mindful eating are numerous and can have a positive impact on overall health and well-being.
One of the key benefits of mindful eating is that it can help with weight management. By paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, as well as the taste and texture of food, individuals are more likely to eat in response to physical hunger rather than emotional cues. This can help prevent overeating and promote a healthier relationship with food.
In addition to weight management, mindful eating can also improve digestion. When we eat mindfully, we are more likely to chew our food thoroughly and eat at a slower pace, which can aid in digestion and prevent digestive issues such as bloating and indigestion.
Moreover, mindful eating can enhance the enjoyment of food. By savoring each bite and being fully present in the eating experience, individuals can appreciate the flavors and textures of their meals more fully. This can lead to greater satisfaction and fulfillment from meals, ultimately reducing the desire for mindless snacking or overeating.
Furthermore, practicing mindful eating can help individuals tune into their body’s hunger and fullness cues, leading to a more intuitive approach to eating. By listening to our bodies and eating when we are truly hungry, we can better nourish ourselves and avoid unnecessary food restrictions or diets.
Overall, mindful eating is a powerful practice that can transform the way we relate to food and our bodies. By being fully present in the eating experience, we can enjoy our meals more fully, improve digestion, manage weight more effectively, and develop a healthier relationship with food. So next time you sit down to eat, try practicing mindful eating and see how it can positively impact your health and well-being.
