- Furthermore, the Minister has also instructed the relevant officials at the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology to ensure the adequate monitoring of all NFT transactions that are undertaken within Indonesia.

The Minister has pledged to take proper action in coordination with relevant officials and other ministers as regards any use of NFT transaction platforms that violates the applicable laws and regulations.
