What is BIDR?
BIDR is a stablecoin that is backed by the Indonesian currency – Rupiah (IDR). BIDR was launched in June 2020 through a partnership between Binance and TokoCrypto. The latter is one of the leading and regulated crypto exchange platforms in Indonesia.
As part of Binance's plans to make stablecoin trading more popular, BIDR was launched as a BEP-20 token pegged to the Indonesian Rupiah at a one-to-one ratio. Thus, one BIDR coin is equivalent to one IDR, which also means that the BIDR price is pegged to the price of IDR. Thus, compared to most other crypto assets, the BIDR price stays relatively stable, even during times of high market fluctuations.
Stablecoins are usually looked at as digital representations of fiat currency. Most other stablecoins are backed by more popular fiat currencies though. Because of this, when BIDR was launched, it sparked huge interest from Indonesians who started embracing the project in numbers.
Tokocrypto, the company behind the BIDR crypto token was founded by Pang Xue Kai in 2018. Pang had years of experience as an engineer in the oil and gas sector before transitioning into cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. The team aims to build a crypto ecosystem that will be attractive to Indonesians and people in Southeast Asia as a whole.
