Bitcoin functions as a digital asset without central authority, transacted directly between participants. It originated as the initial cryptocurrency built on distributed-ledger technology, relying on a proof-of-work system to validate transactions. The asset serves mainly as a reserve of wealth and a means of payment.
Bank Indonesia's Board of Governors, meeting on 21-22 July 2026, held the BI-Rate at 5.75%, alongside a deposit facility rate of 4.75% and lending facility rate of 6.50%. Governor Perry Warjiyo said the hold was aimed at strengthening rupiah stability amid global uncertainty and keeping inflation near the roughly 2.5% target for 2026 and 2027.
Bitcoin fell 1.02% to $65,701.27 on Jul 22, driven by hawkish Fed policy repricing after strong labor data and a rise in US 10-year Treasury yields. Institutional spot Bitcoin ETF buying cooled, with profit-taking reducing demand, while long liquidations in perpetual swaps worsened the decline.
With underlying inflation approaching the BOJ's 2% target, officials say their focus is shifting from generating inflation toward keeping price expectations anchored at the goal. The BOJ is expected to hold its policy rate at 1% on 31 July after June's hike, with no preset schedule for the next move.
Bank Indonesia kept its 7-day reverse repo benchmark (BI-Rate) at 5.75% after the 21-22 July 2026 board meeting, leaving the deposit facility at 4.75% and lending facility at 6.50%. The hold followed a 25bp hike in June and was framed as supporting rupiah stability amid global uncertainty.
Strategy CEO Phong Le said Bitcoin dominance has increased from 40.83% in 2022 to 56.95% currently, and he expects it to keep growing due to stablecoins, tokenization, and big bank adoption. Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen over $50 billion in inflows, and corporate Bitcoin treasury holdings exceed $125 billion.
Tokenized securities provider Dinari joined the Blockchain Association on July 21 to contribute to policy discussions on tokenization and digital asset regulation. Dinari operates dShares, tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, and is an SEC-registered transfer agent.

Movement Labs filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on 21 July 2026, listing assets of $100,000-$500,000 against liabilities above $1 million. The collapse followed a market-making deal that let a counterparty rapidly sell 66 million MOVE tokens after the December debut, triggering a price crash and investigations.
WTI crude topped $85 a barrel for the first time since 12 June as the Iran conflict escalated, reviving inflation worries that have weighed on risk assets and complicating the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Bitcoin fell back below $66,000 and equity futures slipped, while gold rose 0.95% to $4,118 and silver gained 1.2%.
