Edena Capital Partners Launches New Era in Indonesia's Digital Securities
In a significant announcement made on June 19, 2025,
Edena Capital Partners, a Singapore-based investment firm, and its Korean technology subsidiary,
Group KS, revealed their strategic entry into the burgeoning
Indonesian digital securities market. This marks a pivotal moment for the company as it forms a local joint venture,
Edena Capital Nusantara, with renowned Indonesian partners to spearhead the development of the
Security Token Offering (STO) exchanges in Southeast Asia's largest economy.
Establishing Local Partnerships
The formal establishment of the joint venture was celebrated in a ceremony held in Jakarta, where key figures such as
Wook Lee (CEO of Edena Capital Partners) and
Chase S. Cho (Co-CEO) were present alongside leading Indonesian partners
PT Dua Saudara Nusantara and
PT Milkyverse Dunia Digital. The event gathered critical stakeholders, including
Rendy Ronaldy Bimantara (CEO of PT Dua Saudara Nusantara) and
Yayang Ruzaldy (Co-Representative of PT Dua Saudara Nusantara), who emphasized the importance of this collaboration for Indonesia’s financial landscape.
In his remarks, Wook Lee stated, "With our strong local partnership established, we are now poised to enter Indonesia's inaugural STO exchanges sand-box program and build ASEAN's leading digital securities infrastructure." This initiative is designed to connect Indonesia's population of 270 million to international capital markets while laying the groundwork for a robust digital securities ecosystem across ASEAN.
Pioneering Digital Securities in ASEAN
The joint venture's primary goal is to introduce Indonesia’s first
STO exchange, named
Edena Indonesia, which will operate under the regulatory framework designed to support innovation in the financial sector. This ambitious venture not only aims to position Indonesia at the forefront of digital securities transformation but also strives to lead the
ASEAN digital securities revolution.
Strategic Vision
Edena's strategy for entering the Indonesian market focuses on several key advantages:
- - Strategic Partnership: Collaborating with local market leaders to ensure a robust operational foundation.
- - Regional Hub Development: Positioning Indonesia as a central hub for digital securities in the ASEAN region.
- - Cross-Border Integration: Facilitating seamless connections between Indonesia and the broader ASEAN network of digital securities.
- - Comprehensive Asset Offerings: Prioritizing assets such as carbon credits to align with Indonesia's green initiatives.
The platform's focus on
carbon credits aligns with President
Jokowi's Green Recovery initiatives and Indonesia's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2030. Edena Capital Nusantara is set to build on its extensive digital securities capabilities, ensuring that Indonesia emerges as an
innovation center in ASEAN.
Advanced Infrastructure for Regional Growth
Edena’s operations will be headquartered in Singapore, leveraging its regulatory expertise across ASEAN jurisdictions to develop a comprehensive
STO infrastructure. The hybrid blockchain architecture adopted by Edena will ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions while facilitating cross-border transactions.
As the global STO market is projected to reach
$2.4 trillion by 2030, Edena's entry into Indonesia positions the company to lead the transformation of digital securities, establishing itself as a pioneer in regional digital finance leadership.
In conclusion, the launch of Edena Capital Nusantara not only signifies a major milestone for Edena Capital Partners but also marks a transformative chapter for Indonesia's financial services industry, setting the stage for a flourishing market in digital securities.
