PENYELESAIAN SENGKETA PERDATA TERKAIT PENIPUAN INVESTASI CRYPTO ASSET DI INDONESIA

Abstract

The development of digital technology is driving the emergence of various new investment instruments, including crypto assets. Crypto assets are intangible commodities in the form of digital assets, using cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, and distributed ledgers for the creation of new units, verifying transactions, and securing transactions without the intervention of other parties. In Indonesia, crypto assets do not yet have comprehensive regulations as investment tools, making them vulnerable to misuse as a means of fraud. The rise of scams disguised as crypto asset investments presents legal issues, especially regarding the resolution of civil disputes between investors and perpetrators. This research aims to analyze the mechanisms for resolving civil disputes arising from crypto asset investment fraud using a normative legal approach and case study approach. The results of the study indicate that resolution can be achieved through litigation with claims of default or wrongful acts. illegal acts, as well as through non-litigation channels such as mediation, BPSK, or arbitration based on existing provisions.
