Coins.ph Expands QRPh Crypto Payments With BTC and ETH Support

Coins.ph has expanded its QRPh cryptocurrency payment feature in the Philippines to include Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This builds upon an existing system that allows payments at an estimated 700,000 merchants using stablecoins like USDT. By scanning the national QRPh standard, users can now pay with these cryptocurrencies, with balances automatically converted to Philippine pesos at checkout. This development follows the wallet's earlier integration of USDT into the national QR code infrastructure, a first for the Philippines. The system simplifies transactions, particularly for the country's large remittance market, by allowing seamless use of digital assets within the local economy. Coins.ph CEO Wei Zhou stated the move redefines digital wallet capabilities, integrating popular cryptocurrencies into Filipino daily life. Operating under central bank regulation, Coins.ph is a major player in a region with high crypto adoption. The platform aims to streamline international transfers and financial services by combining local payment networks with digital asset settlement.

Coinbase and Gemini Blocked in the Philippines Amid Crackdown on Unregistered Exchanges

The central bank of the Philippines (BSP) has ordered internet service providers to block access to unregistered cryptocurrency exchanges. Among the first to be affected are major global platforms Coinbase and Gemini. The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) acted on a BSP directive that identified 50 unlicensed Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). This crackdown is part of the enforcement of the VASP licensing framework established by the BSP in 2021. Despite the regulations, many large offshore exchanges have not sought the necessary licenses to operate in the country. The action follows a similar block imposed on Binance in 2024. Other prominent exchanges on the regulator's list include OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Bitget, and MEXC. As of now, only a few platforms, such as local exchanges Coins.ph and PDAX, are fully licensed to offer crypto services in the Philippines. Regulators have stated that foreign exchanges are welcome to apply for a license but must establish a local presence and comply with all regulatory requirements.

Philippines blocks Coinbase, Gemini amid wider crackdown on unlicensed VASPs

Amid a wider crackdown on unlicensed virtual asset service providers (VASPs), the Philippines has blocked access to major global cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Gemini. The National Telecommunications Commission directed local internet service providers to restrict access to 50 platforms flagged by the central bank for operating without authorization. This action signifies a regulatory shift from informal tolerance to strict enforcement, making local licensing mandatory for market access. The country had previously banned Binance and identified other unlicensed exchanges like OKX, Bybit, and KuCoin. Meanwhile, regulated entities are expanding crypto services, with partnerships enabling stablecoin payroll and banking-integrated crypto trading.
