We are thrilled to announce the official release of the StraitsX Indonesia Rupiah (XIDR) and the StraitsX Indonesia platform. XIDR is the second stablecoin issued by StraitsX, following XSGD becoming the world’s largest non-USD denominated fiat-backed stablecoin. XIDR will be available on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token and on the Zilliqa blockchain as a ZRC-2 token. XIDR is the only Indonesian Rupiah stablecoin that is not issued by an exchange.

Aymeric Salley, Head of StraitsX said, “According to a study by Google, the unbanked citizens still account for 66 percent of Indonesia’s 260 million population. Coupled with Indonesia’s tremendous growth in the FinTech, blockchain and digital assets space, and strong demand for a trusted and compliant Indonesian Rupiah denominated stablecoin, XIDR presents a way for the unbanked population to gain access to financial services It also represents our next step to enabling, democratising and accelerating access to digital assets for individuals and businesses in Asia and beyond.”
