PT Sejahtera Bersama Nano (SBN) has officially made history by becoming the first token issuer in Indonesia to receive approval from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) for a crypto asset tokenization project with underlying government bonds. The ID Digital Bonds (IDDB) issued by SBN have officially become the first government bond tokenization project listed in the OJK Sandbox, based on approval letter No. S-514/IK.01/2024 dated October 8, 2024.
This project is an innovative step to digitize bond instruments using blockchain technology. The tokenization project allows bonds, which typically have a high initial purchase requirement, to be split into crypto assets that can be widely traded through digital platforms. This expands access for both retail and institutional investors to invest in government bonds more easily.
According to a report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the market value of tokenized assets, including bonds, is projected to increase significantly in the coming years. The report states that the global real-world asset tokenization market is expected to grow to a total value of over $16 trillion by 2030, encompassing bond, property, and equity tokenization. Tokenization technology broadens access for retail and institutional investors, enhances efficiency and transparency, and reduces asset trading costs.
Gumarus Dharmawan William, Chief Executive Officer of PT Sejahtera Bersama Nano (SBN), stated, “This is a significant step for Indonesia. The OJK has made history as the first financial regulator in Indonesia and even Southeast Asia to allow the implementation of a government bond tokenization project. PT Sejahtera Bersama Nano, through its product, ID Digital Bonds (IDDB), has now officially entered the OJK sandbox and become a pioneer in Indonesia with INDON34 bonds as the underlying asset.”
Previously, the INDON34 bond series denominated in US dollars could only be accessed by investors with a minimum purchase of $200,000 (approximately 3.1 billion Rupiah). With tokenization through IDDB, access to this instrument becomes broader, with a minimum purchase of only $1,000 (approximately 15.5 million rupiah) per token, making IDDB tokens more inclusive for investors from various segments of society.
“The tokenization innovation we present with IDDB is a strategic step to bring change to the bond market in Indonesia. We are proud to collaborate in creating this product, which is expected to increase capital inflow into the country and support Indonesia’s economic growth,” said Billy Surya Jaya, President Director of Nanovest.
Over the next 12 months, IDDB will undergo a testing phase in the OJK Sandbox before receiving full regulation. This project is the result of collaboration between SBN as the token issuer, Nanovest as an Indonesian crypto exchange with a current license as a prospective physical crypto asset trader (CPFAK), STAR Asset Management as the investment manager partner, and Bank Sinarmas as the custodian.
Hanif Mantiq, Director of Star Asset Management, acting as the investment manager partner in this project, said, “This tokenization innovation proves that crypto and government bonds can harmoniously synergize, offering safer and more affordable investment options. Crypto investors now have the opportunity to invest in government bonds with the same ease as when they invest in crypto assets. This emphasizes that although crypto investment is becoming more popular, government bonds remain relevant and attractive to young investors.”
This tokenization project not only aims to modernize Indonesia’s capital market but also seeks to increase financial inclusion, opening opportunities for more investors, both domestic and international, to participate in financial instruments in Indonesia.

“Small businesses are doing their part in decreasing reliance on single-use plastics, and are proving that it is possible,” said Marian Ledesma, Zero Waste Campaigner for Greenpeace Philippines. “There’s no excuse for major corporations not to follow suit.”
QUEZON CITY, Philippines — Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) may seem miniscule, but a growing number of them are determined to show larger companies that greening the manufacturing and retail sector should be everyone’s business.
In an event titled “Reduce, Reuse, Refill: 3Rs to End Plastic Pollution,” environmental advocates, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and progressive business groups enjoined other MSMEs to reduce their production and consumption of single-use plastics (SUPs) and adopt more sustainable practices. Said initiative aims to build the capacity of MSMEs to lead the shift toward environmentally responsible business operations.
This brought MSMEs to the Las Piñas-Parañaque Wetland Park (LPPWP) for a field immersion and discussion on Tuesday. The LPPWP, which is home to over 41 migratory bird species and the threatened and endemic Philippine duck,[1] faces severe threats from plastic pollution. The activity sought to raise awareness among local businesses about the destructive impact of SUPs on ecosystems and communities.
“Small businesses are doing their part in decreasing reliance on single-use plastics, and are proving that it is possible,” said Marian Ledesma, Zero Waste Campaigner for Greenpeace Philippines. “There’s no excuse for major corporations not to follow suit.”
MSMEs comprise 99.59% of all business establishments in the Philippines.[2] According to Ledesma, the potential behind their considerable numbers play a pivotal role in sparking changes in the industry. “This includes transitioning prevailing business models away from SUPs and influencing consumers in their respective communities,” she continued.
Participants in the event included fisherfolk, community members, and waste workers who shared firsthand experiences of how plastic pollution affects food security, environment and livelihood. Over 164 million plastic sachets and 57 million shopping bags are discarded every day[3] in the Philippines and much of which are not recycled.[4] Instead, they end up in landfills or waterways, contributing to pollution and the climate crisis.“Sinisira [ng mga plastic] ang aming mga gamit pangingisda at itinataboy ang mga isda sa malayo. Dagdag perwisyo sa panggastos sa gasolina. Natatabunan at pinapatay [nito] ang mga bahay itlugan, bahura, bakawanan, at mga halamang dagat,” shared PANGISDA Pilipinas Chair Pablo “Ka Pabs” Rosales.
“Nanawagan kami sa ating makakalikasang mga negosyante, na pangunahan ang pag-iwas sa… single-use plastic na siyang pinakamarami sa karagatan at kalat sa kapaligiran. Suportahan ang pagsisikap ng mangingisda na linisin ang baybayin at karagatan para sa pagpapanumbalik ng kasaganaan at luntiang kapaligiran.”
Upstream solutions such as reduction, reuse and refill are aligned with the DTI’s Green Economic Development program. These approaches aim to enhance MSME competitiveness by helping businesses adopt climate-smart, environmental-friendly, and inclusive strategies.
“Sustainability is our only option for a better tomorrow; it is a crucial aspect of business resilience and long-term success,” said DTI-National Capital Region OIC-Regional Director Winston T. Singun. “There are no businesses to speak of in an inhospitable future, plagued with various environmental crises. MSMEs have the power to make a positive impact not only in our economy, but also our planet.”
Following the nature walk were sustainability discussions in Talyer 15 at the Henry Hotel Compound for discussions led by business owners championing sustainable plastic reduction efforts. The session featured entrepreneurs and communities who have successfully employed viable, practical, and innovative alternatives to plastic use, paving the way for a just zero waste transition.
Leading the charge in the “Greening Your Business” discussions are speakers from Back to Basics Ecostore, Newport World Resorts, San Juan Resort Restaurant and Hotel Association (La Union) and Rizza Lana Sebastian. The panelists shared their expertise on how to “green” the supply chain, how to reduce plastics in tourism, and how to practice sustainable communications. Reuse and refill solutions such as those applied by Kuha sa Tingi[5] (Greenpeace Philippines), JuanaZero[6] (Mother Earth Foundation), Sabon Express, and Good Food Community were also tackled to mitigate the crisis.
Greenpeace Philippines is optimistic that more MSMEs take part in interventions that address plastic pollution at the source. A number of attendees have expressed their willingness to break free from plastic and be a part of community-driven solutions that help create a zero-waste system.
The field immersion and sustainability discussion is an initiative under Champions of Change, a growing global collective of forward-thinking businesses committed to transitioning towards a plastic-free future.

Here’s what the Champions of Change have to say:
“With plastic pollution, there’s the obvious issue that it can harm certain marine animals, especially turtles. There have been a lot of studies showing that plastics, especially when they break down into microplastics, can actually threaten coral populations. I think that’s why it’s really important for us to fight against plastic pollution because they affect the entire marine ecosystem.” — Denise Sze, Marketing Executive of Magwai
“From the mountains of plastic in our cities to the microplastics that are now everywhere, we are causing serious health consequences from chemicals that leach into our waterways. Committing to a plastic-free future is a really important thing. We just need to make that decision on what kind of infrastructure and what kind of culture we need to support this commitment. These are really exciting ways of working with the community so that we can make this happen.” — Charlene Tan, Founder & CEO of Good Food Community
“Lagi lang po natin isipin na isa lang naman talaga ang mundo. Hindi tayo pwede magkaroon ng satellite earth or another earth. And ‘yung mga plastic na basura na itinatapon natin in this lifetime, it would take 400 to 500 years to decompose. So, siguro po yung isapuso lang po natin at isaisip yung katotohanan na yan. Siguro ‘yun po ‘yung magda-drive sa ating lahat [para ilaban ang pagbabago].” — Mellany Zambrano, Founder & CEO of Sabon Express
“So with this Global [Plastics] Treaty, what is more exciting about it is the fact that it’s looking at the end-to-end supply chain for plastic. It’s not just looking at waste management… It’s looking at the producers… They’re looking not just to penalize the end, but reduce the demand. From the treaty, I want to see more responsibility going back on those companies that are producing plastic bottles.” — Rob Boreham, Managing Director of Hospitality Innovations by Quorate Inc.

At an event held in SM Aura Book Nook, Bookshelf PH launched Blankscape an online digital magazine that gives writers and artists a platform to share their work with the world.
In the endless concrete jungles of Metro Manila, feeling overwhelmed and lost is easy. From towering buildings to the multitudes who live and work here, the individual has little room to really express themselves.
Even on social media, these spaces are becoming increasingly crowded. Algorithms and the focus on popular and trending content frequently drown out the voices of original content and small artists. More than ever, there is a pressing need for a place where these Filipino creators can have their works given the proper attention they deserve.
Fortunately, a new initiative aims to change all of this.
New worlds calling
At the latest “Write Side of Bookshelf” session at the SM Aura Book Nook, publisher Bookshelf PH officially unveiled their new digital magazine Blankscape. The magazine aims to be a safe place where creators can have their works presented and even polished to be the very best they can be.
The magazine is divided into different sections for paintings (Strokes), poetry (Stanzas), prose (Sentences), and photography (Shots), catering to all forms of creative and artistic expression possible.
The name Blankscape, a play on the words “blank space” and “landscape”, represents something more profound. It represents an empty canvas, a world waiting to be given life and color. Through this initiative, the publisher hopes to foster creativity and artistic expression by providing creatives a safe space to develop their craft, one page at a time.
The joys of creation
To celebrate the launch of the new platform, attendees participated in a very special activity. Using provided pencils and paper, they were given ten minutes to express themselves and create works based on the theme, “Escape”. This theme perfectly represents the type of creative expression that Blankscape wishes to cultivate–that anyone can find safety from the constant restraints and overbearing noise of the outside world and the mainstream and be free to develop their ideas.
After the ten minutes were up, several of the participants showcased their works. One of them, for instance, interpreted the theme in the drawing of a child lost in the pages of a book, his imagination taking him to new places and faces never before seen.
Behind the dream
“I can’t draw to save my life,” Monette, one of the co-founders of Bookshelf, jokingly said to the audience. “But even though I can’t draw, I still want to help others who can. Among us, many can write and draw.” Bookshelf PH itself was created to help meet a pressing need she noticed during the pandemic–a lack of books about Filipino businesses and local stories. Over time, the publisher has expanded its reach beyond its original scope.
Now, they wish to do the same for Filipino creatives. They too deserve a place where they can explore and spread their wings in an environment suited perfectly for free and total creative expression–a blankscape.
Come and bring your work today! Blankscape is now accepting submissions at https://www.blankscape.media/.
