Pengaruh Respon IMF terkait Penggunaan Cryptocurrency terhadap Kebijakan Pemerintah Indonesia

Abstract

This research aims to describe the IMF response to cryptocurrency and its influence to
Indonesian policy. The rapid development and the enormous potential of using
cryptocurrency to the world economy has triggered a diverse response from various parties
in the world. IMF, as an international institution that is engaged in economics, has so far a
fairly positive response related to the use of cryptocurrency in the world. This is due to the
large potential possessed by cryptocurrency and the technologies that exist within it.
However, so far there has been no policy issued by the IMF related to the use of
cryptocurrency. In contrast to the IMF, Indonesia, which is one of the member countries of
the IMF has a different view and clearly prohibits the use of cryptocurrency as a medium
of exchange in Indonesia. Using the Regime Theory, Neoliberal Institutionalism, and the
concept of International Regime, this research attempts to explain what factors are behind
the IMF's support for the use of cryptocurrency. In addition, this research will also explain
the influence that the IMF has on its member states and try to predict how the IMF's
response to the use of cryptocurrency will affect future Indonesian government policy.
