NanoByte and Danamas Collaboration to Lead the Crypto Adoption in the Asia Pacific
Three of the most populated countries in the world (China, India, and the USA) are becoming more stringent on cryptocurrency, while crypto supporters have been touting Indonesia as the future emerging market. When it comes to cryptocurrency, Indonesia is way ahead of many nations. With more than 270 million population and one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, the future of this avenue of trading is promising. Its government is also open to crypto, with the president (Joko Widodo) actively encouraging Indonesians to learn about new tech including crypto.
Despite huge opportunities in Indonesia, there are only around 7 million crypto investors in the country, or less than 3% of the total population. NanoByte Token (NBT) was launched last month aiming to become a pioneer of crypto adoption in the fourth most populous country in the world.

NanoByte is affiliated with Nanovest, an investment application to trade US stocks and cryptocurrency-based in Indonesia and already gained the support of more than 2 million people in Indonesia during its beta launch. Today, they finally announced the latest innovation: the first-ever instant fiat loan with NanoByte through a partnership with Danamas, a Sinarmas Financial Service company.
Sinarmas Financial Service is a leading financial services provider in Indonesia that provides an integrated and comprehensive range of financial services, including Banking, Insurance, Financing, Capital Markets, Asset Management, Share Administration, Security, and Information Technology. Sinarmas Financial Service is also part of the conglomerate group Sinarmas that has been in Indonesia since the 1930s. NanoByte’s partnership with Danamas is the first maneuver of making crypto assets accepted in the full suite of the traditional financial ecosystem in Indonesia. As a crypto project, Nanobyte Token (NBT) is now available through the centralized exchange platform Tokocrypto, Binance’s portfolio in Indonesia. In the global market, it is accessible through Pancakeswap dan Uniswap.
Nanovest’s CEO, Hutama Pastika, said the partnership between Nanobyte and Danamas in providing NBT as an instant loan application service facility will be effective as of April 19th, 2022. “The latest scheme in the crypto-asset-based instant lending services (NBT) is expected to encourage education and be a proof to crypto enthusiasts with all Indonesian people of what kind of amazing things a digital asset can provide. Hopefully, all of these efforts can foster people’s trust that this new investment instrument is not that difficult and perfectly safe for everyone.”

The NBT asset-based instant loan offered by Nanobyte and Danamas is such an innovative project and claimed as the first in the world. All Indonesians who are interested in applying for a loan can do so as long as they have NBT and are available to join this program. “Danamas and Sinarmas Financial Service discover that today’s young generation has begun to get more literate in investment and invest a lot through digital currency. Through this partnership, NanoByte token holders can get instant loans with up to 80% lower interest than what they normally get in the market,” Danamas’s CEO, Joyce Andries said.
To date, crypto-based projects are often seen as risky, scary, and unstable investments. Through this innovation, Danamas and Sinarmas Financial Service intend to boost the adoption of crypto assets by introducing a new channel that is more reliable and relatable to the novice. Hopefully, it can drive greater and faster growth of the crypto industry in Indonesia and across the globe. The bases are formed, and the growth has begun. It can only get bigger and brighter from here.
