Bitcoin and Ethereum climbed on Thursday, pulling Indonesia’s CFX10 crypto benchmark up 1.21% as the market shrugged off the shock from the U.S. Senate’s rejection of the CLARITY Act and kept bidding up the sector’s biggest liquid names.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Lift Indonesia's CFX10 Index

That matters because the move shows how quickly crypto capital can rotate back into the market even when a major policy catalyst turns negative. In a space still driven by regulatory headlines, liquidity and positioning often matter more than one vote, and today’s trade suggests investors are still willing to buy the dip in the assets that anchor institutional portfolios and local benchmarks.

At 12:15 WIB, the CFX10 stood at 910.02, up from 899.11 a day earlier. Every one of its 10 constituents was higher, with Stellar leading the pack at 3.28%. Ethereum rose 1.94% to Rp43,285,082.33, while Bitcoin gained 1.11% to Rp1,355,412,892.75. Solana advanced 2.68%, BNB added 1.71% and Hyperliquid rose 2.38%, underscoring broad-based appetite rather than a narrow move in just one or two coins.
The CFX10’s composition makes the rally economically relevant for Indonesia’s digital-asset market. Because the index is built from reported transactions across CFX members and reflects the largest, most liquid names, it acts as a real-time barometer for domestic risk appetite. A synchronized rise across the full basket suggests traders are not only speculating on Bitcoin and Ether, but also reaching further out along the risk curve, a sign that capital is re-entering the market rather than merely defending positions.
The backdrop is important. The rejection of the CLARITY Act in Washington is a reminder that crypto’s path to broader mainstream adoption remains politically fragile. The bill had been viewed as a potential gateway to clearer rules and stronger institutional participation. Its failure may have dented sentiment, but it has not broken the trade. That is the key takeaway for investors: crypto is still being priced as a long-duration growth asset, with regulatory disappointment treated more like an entry point than a regime change.
The technical picture also argues that the rebound deserves attention. Bitcoin is trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, while Ethereum has recovered back above both as well, a sign the trend remains constructive despite recent volatility. Adalytica’s Bitcoin Fear & Greed snapshot sits at neutral, while Ethereum is still in greed territory, suggesting traders have not abandoned the upside case.
For investors, that combination points to the same opportunity the market keeps underestimating: the picks-and-shovels trade around crypto infrastructure, liquid benchmarks and high-beta leaders that benefit when capital returns to the sector. If policy clarity eventually improves, the winners will not just be Bitcoin and Ethereum. They will be the exchanges, brokers, custody providers and listed vehicles that capture the next leg of inflows. For now, the message from CFX10 is clear — the market is buying resilience, and that is usually how the next breakout begins.
